Cleaning my wheels up
What are the best cleaner & polish for the aluminum on the Boss 338's?
I need to get mine cleaned up good. What is recommended for the aluminum. The picture was when they were installing them.

Re: Cleaning my wheels up
I ended up trying Never Dull. Seems to have cleaned them up nicely so far. Got both the driver sides done. Going to do passenger side in a few.
   Now what to put on them to keep them looking this good?

Re: Cleaning my wheels up
The best I have personally used for my alluminum wheels is "mothers". Rubs on white and will come off jet black from the wheel grime. Then buff it with a microfiber towel. You will have the cleanest wheels in town... next to mine.
 It's a little round white/red can. Weev-

Re: Cleaning my wheels up
Yea I've used the mother's before. What I had left looked dried out so I used the never dull.

Re: Cleaning my wheels up
I use the Mother's aluminum polish and then follow that up with Mother's Billet polish for a mirror finish. I use a detail spray to clean the black hardened aluminum polish off of the wheel between applications. I then seal the metal with a product from Wizards products, that is called "Power Seal" http://www.wizardsproducts.com/store...8-oz-p-15.html.
I have found that it works quite well in keeping the polished parts clean of water spots.
