Ain't no magic about it. Polishing aluminum to a show quality finish is tons of elbow grease! Which is why I have no polished aluminum on my bike. It's already enough of a PITA to keep clean, I don't want to add anything else to the job. It cuts into my riding time

Soap and water weekly. Dry with the blaster and hit it with Turtle wax ice. The key is to keep them clean.

Scotch bright pad, ever new tire or whenever I can't stand it any longer which ever come first. Windex on the front. Got the front for $100 with a new tire on it and a fatboy chrome 3x16 rear which I did not have the heart to put on my rear 4.5x17 rear. Probably never find proper rear at that deal. Anyone got a good rear for a Deuce?
