sorry for the more than likely too frequent question here guys but im going to detail the monte this week and need to know what type of polish if any i can use on the rims ... im not sure if they are like other chevrolet rims from the same that have a clear coat on them or if they are simply alloy/aluminium ??

dont fault me for not knowing as it is my brothers car and im caring for it while hes deployed, as well as cruising it every now and then to keep her in shape ...

 

Welcome to the MCF. Wish your brother a safe return home 4-Sure. It's great that he trust you with his Monte SS LOL
Check out the below link for infor on detailin...There's a section for detailing wheels.How to Detail Wheels & Tires

Also check back to see what our member's with the SS rims are using on their Monte's to detail.
Oh, take pictures and post ~> please.
Good Luck on your detail `job...U R a Good `Bro

once shes cleaned up i will for sure post some pictures ...

if anyone else has the 06 07 ss rims please let me know what you have used to clean them ???

 

These wheels are clear coated just like your paint. What I use on mine is the same car wash soap i use to wash the car, then I give them a nice coat of wax. They have the same finish on them that the body has on it. If you can use it on your paint, you can use it on the wheels. Happy detailing!

 

thanks luse ... i promise pictures as soon as im finished on monday or tuesday whenever it stops raining around the midwest

 

^^^Looking forward to seeing them.

 

mothers makes a polish for aluminum wheels.

 

I wouldnt use a polish.....it has some kind of clear coat on it...you would be better off using your carwash soap then if you want to shine them up you can wax your wheels...I have an 07 ss

 

i dont use that, all i use is soap. turtle wax ice at the moment. mine stay clean for a lot longer than my paint does.

i spend a lot of time washing. black car on the lot, ill take it.

 

Soap and water... That's what I use on the stockers. You probably can wax them too since they're cleared but I've never done it. I wax my aftermarket guys.
