peanut butter or wax?

bronzes wheels are starting to look dull. i saw one post someone had luck using PB on there wheels and it shined them up a little. it looked like it changed the color of his te's though, might just be me.

is it ok to wax them? does that even bring back the shine?

Smear the wheels with PB throughly. Let it sit for a little while. Then hose off. Works wonders.

I had hard water spots on all 4 of my rims. I took each one off and used a old buffing pad on my orbital buffer and some 3M buffing compound. It took the water spots right off and gave it that factory shine again. :D
