Best product for stock es wheels?

i want my 99 es wheels to shine...whats the best product to use? they still look fine, just a lil dull, and minor scratches. someone suggested i use mother's polish...but that stuff didnt seem to work, do they require special care?

it depends on whether or not your wheels have a coating on them or if they are bare aluminum. Which is it?

it they have a coating on them....like clear coat, you can just use any automotive wax/polish for the clear coat is pretty much just like paint...

if they are bare aluminum....then get a good metal polish to remove the oxidation (the dull film) and restore them to their bright original finish.
