So i have a set of G-Max Zion's sitting on my magna at the moment, Less than a year old.
Latley i've noticed that the shine has been fading and everytime i clean them i use a non-acidic all wheel cleaner,
After i use this cleaner the rims tend to haze and go foggy, I cant seem to get rid of the haze and it's driving me insane..
Any ideas?

If the rims have a clear coat, I don't see why you couldn't use a slightly abrasive polish (http://www.waxit.com.au/proddetail.asp?prod=PB0006&cat=14) to give them a clean up.
To protect them in future, I would recommend using a proper wheel sealant - something like this (http://www.waxit.com.au/proddetail.asp?prod=PB0018&cat=29).

What cloth/pad were you using to clean them? Get some Maguires scratchX and give them a good polish with it.
