Dude, If your chattin about the BBS's on your MK2 in your Sig Pic, then realistically dont waste your money on Polish as your wheel is Lacquered!! Need sum stuff like Wonder Wheels...

Lacquer is just wearing down...If you know a decent bodyshop, get the Lips stripped&re-polished, and re-Lacquered..
Click the link and see sum of the stuff Ive done...

like the man says, they would be laquered. autosol would be killing them, damaged might already be done because autosol is so coarse.

if they are mint get the resprayed, if not a wold say a refurb dude
