The new Centerlines arrived,and I'd like to keep them in as new condition..

Chris,,, you don't mention if the wheels are coated,, but on my Bogarts which are polished aluminum with no coating, I've had great luck with Hollywoods. I use the liquid form. It has a higher talc content than other products for a little quicker drying time, and the "wipe off" is much cleaner. Good luck which ever product you end up using.

MOTHERS to polish and good old fashion TURTLE WAX to finish polish and protect.

JAX Wax makes a chrome/aluminum polish that works great.

I would only recommend California Purple Polish. Used by the Pros to maintain aluminum on semis and show cars.
Mothers is no comparison. I used to use Flitz for the tough stuff.

If you have old wheels that have been sitting around, use their de-oxidizer first.

Most effortless and brightest polish I have used in 25 years.
