Hi there,
I got a set of Leon Hardiritt wheels (by weds) on my 997S. The outer lip is polished aluminium (which I am assuming) and is giving me a hard time in regard to cleaning. I had OEM Porsche wheels before (painted completely) and just took the car through a "washing tunnel" (in Europe) - they always came out spotless.
With the new wheels, the polished lip comes out dull - Do you have any advise on how the bring back the shine?
Thanks a lot and best regards, Stefan

If they are fully clean, just put a layer of aluminum polish on them with a terry towel and after it is fully on the polished wheel, whipe it with a new clean microfiber or terry cloth. It's as simple as that.
I use Meguiars Aluminum Polish looking like this, should be found at most auto parts stores.
