RE: Polished Aluminum Wheel
Don't forget the beer, very important. I used a power ball on mine with Mothers, and it actually came out good. If you want to get carried away, after you use the power ball, clean with mf cloth, put rubber gloves on, take your polish and rub it in, then wipe it off with another mf cloth. Don't forget the beer, because when you stand back and admire your work, you are going to want a beer.

The cloudiness is probably caused by discharge from your brake rotor. Use an All Wheel Cleaner like Eagle One. If that doesnt do a complete jog try detailing clay. After you are sure wheel isthourghly cleaned then you may want to polish. Never polish anything that has contaimanants bonded to it.
