How do you keep them glossy?

The wheels on my Gixer were shiny as funk when I got it, but thanks to this almighty summer we've had, they are now going dullish and its a nightmare to get them shiny, and once shiny, keep them shiny.

Any tips?????

I used Mr Sheen on my scooter wheel but they are matte so easier to make look good.

I also use WD40, but then my bike don't look it's best anyway, so half the time I don't even bother to clean it Rolling Eyes
