You can polish your aluminum rims at home. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
  • Clean the rims with water from a hose
  • Spray store-bought aluminum wheel cleaner onto your rims
  • Use a brush to scrub and spread the cleaner
  • Dry the wheel with a clean cloth
  • Use a rag to rub aluminum polish onto your rims
  • Use a wax sealant on your rims to keep them looking clean and fresh longer
If you followed these steps, your aluminum rims should shine like they’re fresh off the lot!
