Your wheels are painted, so mag/alloy polish is not going to work on them.

Anything that will buff some scratches out of the paint...Glad I asked here first instead of using the alloy polish? [Uh Oh !]

Thanks!

Any good wax product for removing scratches in the body paint should work on the wheels as well.

Be careful though man!!!! I have seen wheels ruined many times by people either using the wrong product on them, or people polishing/cleaning when they are hot. Let them cool down or you run the risk of ruining them. I would try it on your spare, or at least a inconspicuous spot first!

test on your spare? A painted wheel does not come with the spare tire. [LOL]

FYI ...
2002 4X4 SE Supercharged comes with a fullsize spare (same wheel as the others). I didn't realize that you guys only have 4X2's and no supercharger...sorry for that... [LOL] [LOL]
