It just shines up the aluminum. apply a few coats of wax or sealer after you finish with it.

I would try in a small area that you dont notice on the wheels first though.

since when can you use aluminum polish on anodized rims with color? I am just wondering, not doubting. I just have never heard that.

Hold on. The wheels are painted. You are not polishing aluminum.

Rule of thumb: if the rag doesn't turn black when you rub the metal polish on, it's not polishable. Stop polishing at that moment.
