C6 polished rims-Good cleaner?

[meadowz06]

I did a search and found that some people use REJEX. Is there anything else that is good for cleaning the polished rims? I used wax, and it worked o.k. Mine are in good shape, but I would like them a little brighter.

Understand the products listed are waxes and sealants best used on wheels to protect from accumulation of dirt and dust. We offer Poorboys, DP, and Wheelwax for this type of protection but first suggest a good safe wheel cleaner (like P21S) and using a paint polish (not metal polish) on OEM coated wheels for best look then add the protection.

Just to make sure that we are all on the same page, rejex or any sealant/wax is not what you use to clean the wheels. But any sealant/wax can be used to protect the wheels.

After cleaning wheels with either carwash soap/water or a dedicated wheel cleaner, I use an AIO product like zaino all in one to ensure that the wheels are "deep cleaned." Then I use a paint sealant like Zaino Z2pro to further protect the wheels. Generally waxes or wax based products do not last that long on wheels due to the high temps that are products by the braking system.

This will make your wheels easier to clean the next time you wash the car. A simple wipe with your dedicated wheel wash mitt and your carwash of choice is all it will take to clean them.

I was unclear. I meant what is a good wax to make the wheels shine AFTER washing them with soap and water? Sorry.
