rim cleanup

[Haley]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes,
I have Enkei rims on my mx3. They are black, but they look kinda blah....no shine....just plain.
Is there any suggestions on what to use to spruce them up a bit other than painting them? I believe they're powdercoated so dont want to paint ontop of that. Also dont want to use anything that might damage the powder coating.

clean, wax and polish are pretty much your only options. pc shouldnt really fade thow. have any chemicals came in contact with them?

I use pretty much any wheel cleaner on mine(stock Enkei 15"s), and I coat them with another product that goes on clear. I don't have it on hand at the moment, but it keeps brake dust from sticking to them and keeps them nice and shiny between washes.

Check out a few brands, just make sure whatever you use won't harm the PC.(It probably won't, but you can never be too careful)

any pics of issue? I also know that road salt can effect the color. discolor, fade, loss of clear coat.

Right off the bat buy a Mothers Power ball. I have one and find it invaluable when cleaning wheels. Makes a 2 hr job a 20 minute job. I use the small not large ball. Cheers.
