claying your rims??

i have high polished DPE wheels...

there are some stains.. like road tars and the surface is rough... i am wondering if we can clay non clear coated wheels?

and what polishers u guys use? my wheel have got some buff marks on the lip... even when brand new there are light scratches already....

what kind of polishes is recommended?
is there any wheel cleaner that can get rid of brake dust w/o scrubbing it that we can use? non acidic ones... and doesnt leave any marks on the wheels?

Use a fine clay like sonus extra fine and then a polish like Menzerna Final Polish. If you have buffer marks from the original polishing, your best bet is to have it professionally polished again by someone reputable.
