Re: Sealing polished aluminum wheels

I was really on the fence about the polished coys because i have read some bad stories about them on here but yours look excellent, like i said i thought they were chrome. I just might have to get me a set of them for my project. What kind of shape were they in when you got them.

I bought them new, but went over them with Mother's Aluminum Polish and that really brought out the shine. I'm looking into some of the suggestions that came up here. I was hoping to find something that is available locally, but am not seeing many choices. I may try the Wizards Power Seal.
