uh, alloy rims should already be shiny and have a coating on them. Using any kind of cleaner/polish on this coating may cause it to come off and ruin the wheel.

If they are aluminum and NOT clearcoated , get a jar of Mothers billet polish and a terry cloth towel and go to town. You can also buy a polishing pad and hook it up to an electric drill for quicker results.

They are already shiny. And if they have a coating, you're gonna ruin em with a polish. If you want mirror shine, buy chrome rims.

and ricey. they might as well be chrome. I think the alloys from honda are much better. If you want that much bling, get chrome rims its the same thing.

Metal finishing shop. Have them mirror polished. Then good luck keeping them from scratching.
