Is there wax or polish for wheels?
My volk ce28n bronze wheel looks like it has lost some of its color, every time I wash them, they look dull when dried. Is there any product out there that can help?

Careful on that finish. The CE28N have a matte finish on it. I would stay away from any abrasive cleaners as you can smooth it out and lose that matte look.

if the wheels are clear-coated, then treat it just like the finish on your car.

wash, polish, wax does wonders.

makes them easier to keep clean as well.
