I take it the aluminum has no clear coat. If the Motor Company would implement "Clearcoating" on their wheels and such like the auto makers, it would be so sweet.

At any rate try some Eagle One wadding, its in a little chrome can with black lettering on it, I use to wipe down my exhaust pipes on my mustang before it goes to shows and it keeps them looking brand new. It has many good uses for polishing up stuff.

Also look for any of their Auto Wheel polishes, they have one for every type of wheel, painted, chrome & various types of aluminum, I have used about everything they offer at one time or another and its good stuff.

Product that comes in a tube called Simichrome. It is concentrated creme and will go a long way. Rub it on, let it dry to haze, then buff off. Be sure to have sunglasses on -- the glare will blind you.
