Default RE: pitted rear wheel

Keith, I use "Blue Magic" on my wheels and rocker covers. It is a mild aluminum polish that leaves a thin layer of silicon. When I go for my first tire change I will either
a) Powdercoat clear on them
b) Powdercoat them gloss black

Then they will be easy to clean and keep clean. Alinco (if it's spelled right) sells an aluminum clrear spray in a rattle can to protect it. I am having more of a problem with my cylender fins and rocker covers. I have thought about using the same silver in a engine enamel to coat the edge of the machined fins (will give the motor the old time look of cast cylender casings as well) because I am tired of rubbing rouge to get rid of the corrosion on the fins.
