Default I can't keep my POLISHED aluminum rims clean. PLEASE HELP!

I have a set of iforged aero 19's that are polished aluminum. I was wondering what you use to keep them clean. I've had mine less than two weeks and they look like crap. I've been using eagle one never dull, and it seems like the polish is putting more of those annoying underneath scratches into the wheels. First , what do you use to make them shine and second, does this polish take out the scratches? And if it doesn't take out the scratches then what does? are they permanent? People have said to use sandpaper and wetsand it out but i'm kinda scared. If you could just give me some info i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Mike

I was using some pink cotton candy looking material called EXCALIBUR wheel polish that came in a white can that was clear coat safe but can't seem to find it anywhere. I don't know if my wheels are clear coated or not. They have gotten a bit dull so I think they are. Is there anyway of checking if there clearcoated or high polished?

Make sure you put a coat of wax on them ever so often. Mothers Reflections works great on the paint and on the rims. Try it, you'll be very satisfied.
