"Dry" wheels...need advise.
Hey guys,
My wheel surface is getting "dry" best way I can describe it is.....The surface looks like it's lightly wet sanded (When i wash my wheels, it drys fast and not with much shine.....I sprayed tire shine on my wheels, and so far it does the trick
Has anyone had this problum, and does any know of a product I can use to correct it?? Tire shine on the wheels will make my wheels get dirty FAST so please, any advise will be greatly appreciated 
Much Mahaloz --Dave--

Hey listen to the other guys...don't use the tire shine....why are you doing that?!
Since it is slightly worn...you should try detailing your rims...like actually taking them off and fully cleaning them. Then you want to (dependant on what kind of finish your rims have) try clay bar, polish and wax...kind of the same way you do your car.
Just don't rub man-juice on it...that will not work...unless your name is Dan
