If your clear coated aluminum wheels have lost their luster, you can restore them to their former glory with a little elbow grease and the right products. Here's how:
1. Start by giving your wheels a good cleaning with soap and water. If they're particularly dirty, you may need to use a degreaser or some other type of cleaner. Be sure to rinse them well afterwards.
2. Next, use a soft brush or cloth to remove any brake dust or other debris that may be clinging to the surface of your wheels.
3. Once your wheels are clean, it's time to polish them. You can use a commercial wheel polish, or make your own using equal parts vinegar and water. Apply the polish to your wheels using a soft cloth, and then buff it off with another clean cloth.
4. Finally, apply a coat of wax or sealant to help protect your newly polished wheels from the elements.
