Morris,

The iForged are perfect for the GS. I was working the Evolutions with Derrick as well. I love my iforged Senekas. I don't know if you have the clear coat, but PM me if you hand polish them.

NOpe didntr get the clear coat and I havent polished them yet. I will be using the Meguiars polish, I've been trying to find some locally without much luck. Thankfully one of our members is going to hook me up with a can.

Thus far I have been using the Tire rack wheel wax to protect them, it seems to wokr pretty well.

Morris has non-cleared Hi-Polished. With normal maintenence, finish is relatively simple to keep in great condition

I tried everything on the market: Mothers, S100, etc... But I found Waterless Car Wash's Preicous Metal Polish to be the next best thing to professional rouge buffing.

I will have to try that, and I also heard about a Metal Soap made by P21S, that is supposed to be really good (heard about it on a Porsche forum).

In the meantime, check out Meguiairs NXT All Metal Polish. Really good stuff ( I think we spoke about it before)

So do you pull the wheels off to polish them or do you do it on the car?

Both. I don't get the inside all the time but I try to every couple of months. The outside gets more frequent attention.

yeah it doesn't matter, get a buffer (or a cloth) and start buffing, very fun but the result is amazing

I'll do the best I can without removing them, thankfully I can reach a good part of the inner wheel throught the spokes.

And yup I am around 218000 now.

oh wait, you are talking about polishing the inners?! man, if so, you need to take them off for sure, and even with that, you need a veyr very strong buffer (i assume the inners aren't polished now?)

On 2pc models the inner barrel is fully polished (for no extra charge!)
