    If they are clear coated, which I'm sure they are (factory wheels are almost always are)...just clean them up with a wheel cleaner and put wax on them to make them shine a bit more.

      Maybe by polishing compound he was referring to polish (as in paint polish) and not to metal polish?

      ...Did you sell your 1st gen and get a 5th gen?

      Used to own a Firebird.
