What product to use on the FX4 wheels?

[Deleted member 5352]

Anyone know of a good product to use on the gloss black FX4 wheels? Mine are two years old and are starting to show their age. They're scratched all to hell and there's even some slight discoloring in certain spots. I would like to spruce them up.

I would buff them with rubbing compound then apply a good coat of wax.

I recently switched to this product. It was highly recommended from co-workers and I have e to say it is amazing. Completely restored the shine to all rubber, plastic, and vinyl.

Clean them with wheel cleaner, rinse and use soapy water and a small piece of claybar to clean them as much as possible. Don’t use the clay on your paint only on the wheels, then keep it separate or dispose it.
Rinse, dry and then use a good wax, I did mine with turtle wax ceramic graphene. Buff with a microfiber used only on the wheels. Mine were not as bad I’m guessing as yours but they turned out great.

I'm afraid to clean mine. The scratches will show from thousands of miles of gravel roads.

Thanks for the advice. Mine aren't terrible but they are heavily scratched from two years in the elements and probably from taking it through automated car washes here and there. I do have Meguiar's Cleaner Wax that I use on the paint. How do you feel about using that on the wheels?

Yes any wax will work, getting them as clean as possible first is the key. As someone else mentioned light polish can help with the bad spots
