i scare..the shine..run aways..

use the rim polisher...got sell everywhere...always wipe off the brake dust...most of the rim wont shine coz cover by brake dust..
dun afraid just wash and polish it..then freaking shinning

if u frequently takes care of ur rim.. then it will shine and last longer..

Dont wait until all the dust,grime,tar and what ever stains stuck to it permanantly.. THEN u start figuring it out how to take care of it..

start now.. not later.. the concept is the same for engine also.. wash it once a few months..

dont leave it after 3yrs.. then open bonet.. 'oh.. how to clean it?'

try spraying clear...but spraying wont last long..
because of the heat produce by the disc will make it melt.
