Per the instructions on the product's label, we rubbed a thin layer of polish onto a portion of the wheel until a black residue appeared. We added more polish as we went along, making sure that we didn’t let the polish dry on the wheel. As long as we kept getting black residue from an area on the rag, we kept cleaning - many rags were needed for this example.
We didn't remove the all the dark residue on the aluminum rim because it acts as a secondary polishing agent. Once half of the wheel was sufficiently clean, we wiped it dry with a clean, dry cotton towel removing all the residue. This took a few towels as well.
