I recently bought 19" m6 alloys and was wondering what is the best stuff to use to clean them. The alloys are polished and i just want to keep them looking good for as long as i can.
And while i am here are there any recommendations for a good wax or polish.
Cheers,

Turtle Wax Enough Said. You dont need high priced waxes to keep your paint and car shiny just take care of it and wax it when it is needed to be. Thats what i use on mine and it always works out great. If you want to go high qualit and expensive go hget waxes from www.glosshaus.com the guy that owns the company is on this forum.
