    polished ABS wheels take the cake.

    97 GT - slow, rusty
    93 CTD - more slow, less rust

    Thats why I recommended the Eagle One Never Dull... its basically a chemically saturated wool cloth in a can... just cleans off the grit and grim and leaves your clean coated rims... My 01 Miata had clear coated alloy wheels, they were still coated and pretty when I got rid of her 2 yrs later, always used that stuff.... but then again I ALSO did wax the wheels regularly too
