Hello, I have a set of factory polished wheels that I just purchased. I just cleaned them with some wheels cleaner and they got pretty good, but a few days later they were dull and "milky' again. Any suggestions? cleaners? polishing machines?
 
Polished Wheels

If you want that "chrome" look you need to take the rims to a polishing shop. After that keep clean and waxed.
 
Are you sure your wheels are polished bare metal? Your description of a milky finish sounds like some of the polish has reacted with or gotten underneath the clear coat that may be on the wheels. It sounds goofy but an easy way to check for clear coat is to lick the wheel (after cleaning of course). If you taste metal that's what you have, if you taste nothing your wheels are painted. If you polished a clear coated wheel with an abrasive cleaner it may need to be re-coated.
