I typically clean the wheels with a bit of mild hand soap and water, and spray it on from a misting bottle. Afterwards I use a silicone spray and then wipe off the excess with a clean rag. Never had an issue with the paint bleeding off...I do agree with avoiding polish! A friend does the same for cleaning but finishes off with pledge then wipes down with a clean cloth.

Thing is there is a difference between polish and wax!! Polish has abrasives and wax does not. Do a search for "car polish vs wax"

You had mentioned it in post #10. Many dont realize they are not the same. My suggestion to do a search was not intended to be an insult but just shed a little light on what those differences are.
