I beleive thier powdercoated clear which means you would have to sand it off and then polish with different grades of polishes and cloths. I'm not 100% on this though but if so then your looking at many hours per wheel to polish them.

And if they are powdercoated clear then definatly don't use aluminum polish to clean them. Use regular carwax as other polishes will mess up the clear.

The wheels are clearcoated. You must first remove the clearcoat before you can polish. Having had several hotrods with aluminum wheels, they are a J O B to keep polished. And that was with limited driving and in the garaged 95% of the time. If you want shiny....buy aftermarket chrome.
