Man, go to Boss Motorsports website and you'll see what polish product they sell, it's more or less a wheel polish for their superfinished lip. I used the Megs wheel polish on my Boss wheels before I sold them and it worked well. Some stains are persistent, but claying and polishing will be the best bet to shine them up and then a wax to act as a protection.

So claybar with the Megs polish? Then what type of wax do I apply on them?

Rubbing compound. Do it by hand though cuz it will burn thru real easy if you use a buffer. You don't want anything to gritty either. What you find at walmart or target should do the trick unless your powder coat is lfting.

Rubbing compound is too abrasive for this. Use a light liquid polishing compound like maybe a cleaner wax to start with.

If this is still there please call me. Maybe I can get in touch with Boss for you.

I've seen this before on the rims on my old F350. Get some 0000 steal wool and mothers aluminum polish and it will come right off. They'll look good at new.
