What products do you guys use on your polished Alloy rims? I just received my 5zigen rims and they're in good shape just that you can tell they've been sitting for a lil over a year or so. Would like to give it a lil cleaning to get it shiny again. Thanks. smile.gif

Unless by alloys you mean mags. Mother's has a mag wheel polish, or it and the aluminum may be the same thing by now. The polishes are meant for bare wheels. Depending on how bad the corrosion is you may have to wet-sand, buff, then polish them out.
