Default wheel care

I have a question regardin wheels with annodized lips....
Unfortunately, i have not been able to get winter tires for my stockies yet, so i am still running my 20's through the winter. The good thing is that i'm running Continental DWS, so no worries as to traction, but i am concerned with how the salt and what not will effect my wheels. Is there a safe cleaning product to use to take out slight blemishing caused by winter road treatments? The wheels are still in good shape, but where just soap and water would be sufficient to clean durring the summer, it's just not cutting it with this winter build up. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

I know it;'s a pain to clean them in the winter, but try using P21s Polishing Soap first then use P21 Multi-surface Finish Restorer to see that works for you.

Here are some more if that route doesn't work , If they're bare metal, then try some Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish or Meguiar's NXT All Metal Polish with the Mothers Power ball mini.

Your very welcome ryan78, and yes P21S Multi-Surface Restorer can do the job for you, but always test any product in a hidden area first to see it will work for you.
