Default Polished Aluminum Wheel Cleaning

These are clear-coated, right? If so, then treat like paint use your regular car wash soap, right?



If not, what do you like to clean them?

I was going to use Menzerna PowerLock PL polymer sealant on them, especially for the winter. Any objections?

If they are clear coated, your take on care and protection is correct. I'm not familiar with that particular wheel, but the picture looks like it's a "brushed" finish?

It's the wheel for a current gen Platinum. It's not brushed, just 'polished' natural aluminum (vs. being chromed). Thx.
