    Got rid of the billboard size badges on the door and relocated the Cummins badge to the door from fender. Washed, waxed and polished and sealed rims. Turned out good!

    ^I'm a huge fan of the much cleaner look you have now.  I would probably get clear or smoked reflectors on the rear quarters there, would also clean it up nicely.

    Nice truck, and love how it looks/sits!
     
    As Brian stated above, don't use harsh chemicals on them, or you'll be polishing them after washing. The QS will help considerably to protect them.
     
    I own a set of raw, polished, aluminum CCW wheels that are on my garage queen 2006 Pontiac GTO. I bought the wheels used, in need of polishing, and was able to experiment with them. I found that MP #2 was pretty quickly able to bring the shine back when APC or DWC was allowed to get on them.
     
    All this being said, don't try my cleaning method for removal of any tire bloom with an aerosol Bag and Tar remover from your other thread until you check how the aluminum reacts with the chemical in an inconspicuous spot.
     
    After a drive, once cool, I wipe them down with sprayed on RW mixed at 1oz product to 15oz distilled water and use a seperate WW Towel for each wheel. Brake dust really seems to like to attach itself to the raw aluminum and will begin to pit the metal if left there too long.

    Thanks for the replies guys! I am going to contact American Force just to confirm they are not clear coated. I feel as though they are not. So don't use the all purpose cleaner? Just regular car wash then when I wash the truck? Once I get the new wheels on I will definitely post pics. Should get it aligned beginning of next week when I'm done wrestling with the front end level kit. And get it cleaned up. Just found out they are indeed polished aluminum and not clear coated.
