I just got my BBS LM-R with and polished lip 1st time having a polished wheel what are you guys using to clean and keep up the polished shine for the barrels


TIA
The lip being a polished metal, you would just clean with a ph neutral cleaner. If the finish gets dull then use a metal polish.
I have used Adam’s metal 1 and 2 polish with great success on chrome finishes.

Nevr dull is another great metal polish I like, and very easy to use if regularly cleaning with it.
Chrome is different from polished aluminum, as chrome is a plating while polished aluminum can be the raw metal or have a clear coat over it.

If the barrels are clear coated, you’d want to use a wheel cleaner, and/or a regular compound or polish to polish them. If they’re raw aluminum, an aluminum wheel cleaner and aluminum polish is more appropriate.
I think it's just a high polished lip.....not CC

IMO, the further refined and high polished you get it, IME....it tends to show oxidation a bit faster than if it was just -90% high polished...

You can mitigate that by putting a sealant onto, BUT, for my OCD eyes, putting a LSP on it does mute the high polish a little bit. Many may not notice the clarity difference.....but for anything high polish, I tend to leave it raw as I don't like the look of a LSP ontop. More maintence as such
Chrome is a plating.

Rims are high polished alloy, so use Mother's MAG polish. The best.

I ceramic coat mine (e88s) afterwards. With a panel wipe spray inbetween ofc.
