How do I polish the rims on a Honda?
I got a great deal on a 2021 Honda Passport Elite with all of the added options! One of my favorite aspects are the 20-inch machine-finished alloy wheels. The only problem is all of my previous cars had simple wheel covers. How can I polish the rims on my Honda?

Congratulations on the new car! With 20-inch rims, you’re certainly making a statement! If you want to keep your
Honda Passport Elite’s
new rims extra shiny, gather the proper equipment and follow the steps listed below.Before you begin, get the proper cleaning supplies outlined here:
- Cleaning mitt
- Several rags
- Small paintbrush
- Spray wax
- Wheel cleaner
- Tire shine (optional)
Once you’ve gathered the supplies, follow these steps:
- Wash your car as you normally would.
- If your rims are extremely dirty or full of brake dust, spray your wheel cleaner on and let it sit for about five minutes. Rinse away the excess.
- Next, dip your cleaning mitt or rag into a mixture of water and car soap.
- Use this mitt or rag to clean all the nooks and crannies of your rims.
- Take the small paintbrush and use it to clean around the lugnuts to remove any grime or brake dust.
- Wipe away the excess moisture and cleaner with a separate rag.
- Put some spray wax on a rag and polish the wheels.
- Spray the surrounding tire with tire shine if you want your tires to gleam like your rims.
