Quick wheel cleaning question...

[Ross-N-Chicago]

OK, gotta set of original aluminum stock wheels that I am going to scrub super clean this weekend. Question is, once I am done, and they are NOT clear coated, what can I put on them to keep them semi-protected and clean looking for awhile? I plan on using Castrol's degreaser and then some BonAmi (less harsh than Comet) with a green scouring pad. They should be sparkling so let me know what to do when I'm done. Thanks...

Turtle Wax makes this. I have not had a chance to use it yet. Thier wheel cleaner didn't work though.

Turtle Wax's Wheel Cleaner sucks! I would think that you're talking about that Formula 2001 stuff they make...it says "no scrubbing, just spray on and hose off" but I have to scrub everytime I use it...or did use it anyway.

well my front wheels are usually completly black and i only found one thing that makes them look brand new and they way they are suppost to. its called flitz. its a metal polish that we use to polish gun barrells but its for any metal/aluminum and woah it makes the wheels perfectly shiny. after using that i put on some turtle wax and they have been clean and shining since last 4th of july. they look great!
