Meguiars Mag Wheel Cleaner :)

The longer you spend on them the better they'll look

also, use a soft toothbrush with some cleaner for the hard to get at areas or tougher stains

Polyglaze (part numberPG10) tyre cleaner is good but recommended to wipe excessive dirt first,then apply..might wanna give it a toothbrush job as well get in those nooks & crannys,once its free from preservatives :D CRC wet look/Power plus tyre & bumper shine is great to get the sheen back in the tyres..

Meguires is great too..

I'd leave it ay. Sounds...bad putting 'wheels' and 'sandpaper' in the same sentence, unless your painting them :(

sandpaper is abrasive

inside of the wheel? if you mean when the tyre isnt on then i cant cause there on my car haha

with the wheels there is the middle part which i think has been painted and then the lip part which is polished..

the part i want to sand is the polish part just some bits on it ....

I think he means 'behind' the wheel. The only problem with sanding polished things is that...well...they aren't 'polished' afterwards lol, more so...they blemish fairly well :S

oh ok i know what you mean now.

so any options on another way to smooth abit?

Try meguires Scratch X.

Basically polishes the paint and etches a tiny microns worth of paint and is very safe to use.

Autosol metal polish? Probably too abraisive still

[CAP]

Try Eagle One wading polish for Chrome/Alloy etc, it's a little silver tin and works a treat on polished/chrome surfaces.
