Default Clean Wheels?

Anybody have any recommendations on cleaning the aluminum wheels on an 09 SG? I've tried the basice wheel cleaner and there are still water spots and such. I have to believe there is something good out there...

Thanks in advance!

Good thought. Maybe it's time to upgrade to that 21" front wheel. Maybe not. I think the wife would kill me for spending that money but I agree that chrome would solve it...

Default Aluminum Polishing

Try either Wenol (German Product) or Flitz metal polishes. Flitz can be found in many places, Wenol I'm not sure about as I got mine at a car show.


I've used both and my aluminum looks like chrome afterwards. It also puts a coating to protect against oxidation, so the shine lasts for awhile as well.
