Any recommendations on waxes to use. I am also interested to know what everyone uses to clean the leather as well as the dash and console and rims.

LEXOL for the leather, and Meguirs or Mothers Wax for the exterior.

What do you guys use to polish the rims? I was going to use mothers alum polish but it says not recommended for metals that are coated. Im pretty sure that the rims come with a thin layer of plastic to protect it from the weather and what not so I haven't used it yet.

I like using Eagle One Nanowax. Easy to apply, it is a polymer so it lasts long, and doesn't create any dust when removing after letting it dry. A downside to the last trait is that you will need a good deal of microfiber towels to remove the excess wax as it cakes onto the towels. But once you have enough, you just wash them and reuse them the next time you wax. Another great feature of the Nanowax is that it does not show up on rubber and plastics like most other waxes do. so you don't have to be as careful when you wax near rubber and plastic trim.

As far as mothers aluminum polish, yes, do not use them on the factory wheels. The factory wheels are clearcoated. Wax the wheelslike you would the rest of your car. Use a paint polish only if absolutely necessary.
