Default Split rim - rim polish

Evening all,

looking to give my split rims a polish. They have been in storage so need bringing back to there original glory.

I'm looking for recommendations of non abrasive polish's and then a sealer to keep them protected.

Detailing world is a good forum to look on and also use Ultimate Finish to supply the products.

Would autosol be considered abrasive? as I think I would probably use a tiny amount of that, then clay bar (with lubricating spray) it after a good clean with something like bilberry juice which is non acidic cleaner(if needed) and then use normal car polish and seal with a wax but I am no expert.

Found a bottle of Alu in my stash, amazing stuff......no abrasive cream....funny stuff turns the rim black as it's applied.
looks amazing after being removed.

This stuff is amazing. Abrasive to remove oxidation from most metals & fine enough to finish to a show finish. I've been using it for years.
