Default 91 with dull wheels

I'm picking up my new 91 in a couple of days.This C4 only has 51k on it.The only thing it needs is help on the wheels,they are dull and really look like they need a good scrubbing.Did the 91's have clear coat on them.Any info on products that will help.They also took like they may be discolored a bit.

The stock '91 wheels are powder coated (or did chevy just paint them?). either way, you can use a polishing compound, then wax them. although, just wax may do the trick if you use a cleaner/wax

Well if that does not work, I have a extra set of satin finished 91 rims in excellent condition!

I have used Eagle One Never Dull on my rims with great sucess, and the other day I put some Mothers Carnuba wax on, and my friends and my brother can't get over how shiny they are.

Well my brother seems to think that carnuba wax shined his rims up. so tomorrow I am going to give it a shot. I think I will use the buffer though to take the wax off. I have a 5 inch buffer that should be perfect for the job. Also I think that a nice coat of eagle one tire gel will make the rim look really shiny and finish the job.

my '85 rims are dull and pitted a bit. can i use a polishing compound? i have regular and a light rubbing compound and a good carnauba wax. which should i use? i just washed it and am ready to go.
