Default Care and upkeep of Contrast cut wheels with machined metal

Having just installed a set of Czar Eclipse wheels from RC Components, now I'm considering the best way to keep the machined metal, (as well as the poweder coated parts) of the wheels looking fresh and new. Given that most of my experience has been with chrome or stock HD wheels, I'm not quite sure what the best type of care would be. Any input is welcome.

Thanks

I'd be interested in an answer to this too.

I use Mothers billet cream or wizards metal polish on my aluminum/painted wheels.
Rub in by hand then polish with a mothers minispeed ball.
I take care to stay off of the black as much as possible then wipe everything with a felt cloth.
If to much polish gets on the black I use Mothers Back To Black to get it off it works well.
I would try in a small less visible spot first before doing the whole wheel

I have the PM contrast cut and the dealer that sold them to said that PM recommends S100 to keep them clean and protectected. Maybe this will help you.
