Addicted To Boost Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Same as waxing anything, no difference really. I would clean your wheels really well before waxing though, I use Simple Green and a toothbrush. Any wax will work fine. FYI, turtle wax is junk.

mra32 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 id just use the wax you have or mothers mag aluminum polish wouldnt the aluminum polish not really work since the top surface is actually clear coat (either paint or powder coat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted To Boost Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Don't use aluminum polish. It will probably damage the clearcoat on the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted To Boost Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Aluminum rims have clearcoat on them (unless they are bare polished aluminum). They should be treated the same as any painted clearcoat automotive finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 yeah i new most had clear coat but the ones on his car looked like plain aluminum since they wernt shiney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I used the Mag/aluminum polish on my old Lumina wheels and it did not damage the clearcoat. But yeah, wax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
