Default Keeping the rims shining

I just had the stock rim on my 87 polished. Right now they shine like a mirror. What is the best way to keep them looking this way. What should I polish them with and can I wax them to keep them shining longer? :confused:

zaino Z2 works well on my polished wheels. carnauba waxes wear off pretty quickly.

I am assuming the wheel is not clear coated, if so you will want to every now and then polish them by hand with a metal polish like Blue Magic or Wenol and then seal them with what ever polish or wax you put on your paint.
