How to Use Forged Metal Polish?
A general guide to using a forged wheel metal polish is as follows;
Start with a clean vehicle or by cleaning the wheels with a Waterless Wash to remove any loose dirt from the surface.
Apply the product with a microfiber applicator pad until a dark haze appears. 
Use a cotton terry cloth towel to do most of the drying and then use a clean premium microfiber towel to finish out the process. This will minimize any clumping and reveal a nice finish on the vehicle's wheel.
Tip; Apply a protective coating such as a Ceramic Spray Coating to protect and add shine to your newly polished wheels.
