Re: Sealing polished aluminum wheels

I have a Zoops kit in my pile of goodies, but have not yet used it. I still support a good polishing with Mother's Aluminum polish (to remove the large amount of dirt and scratches in the metal), followed by using Mother's Billet polish (to create a mirror finish) and then wipe down with a soft cloth and using a detail spray to remove the residue. I then use the Wizard's Metal treament that keeps the dirt and water from introducing themselves into the pores of the metal. this stuff is NOT a hard coat sealer and the cleaning of the wheels is really easy the next time. I have been doing it for a long time, now and I even run Billet Specialties poished wheels on my Daily Driver truck. I drive my stuff, and there is no such thing as trailering in my world.

Attached is one of my DD's Billet wheels on my show truck---I was trying it out for fitment, so that I could purchase some more for it. The wheel in the picture is polished as stated above and sealed with the Wizards.
