I have the big and small Mothers *****, the small for the wheels when I have real aluminum and I used Mothers mag wheel polish. and the big ball puts a nice finish on the body of the truck, gotta do this one soon, just got it oil sprayed, thinking maybe a mistake they really cake it on thick. Oh well the dealer will be happy if they have to work under it. LOL
The ***** wash by hand with soapy water spin them dry, I used the big one on the plastic rims and just use Ice wax since it is made for *******ly everything but glass.

Reading this at work. Makes me chuckle when I read this forum and guys talking about their small and big *****.

I would suggest a spray wax. I have used spray waxes on my chrome parts for years. Bugs come right off grilles brake dust comes right off wheels. Spray wax on chrome is like a sore dic*, you can't beat it.

LOL, they look great clean, but man, you have to keep on them.
I would use alum polish (with lots of rags as they will be black when done). Anything to abrasive will scratch that uncoated alum wheel. One thing I tried was the chrome polish stuff (white and green can). It cleaned them fast, but still had to follow up with a polish to get the shine back. You may want to try in a small area first.

I've used Eagle One Never-Dull before and it's pretty awesome. Gets just about everything off without any scrubbing.

X2 on the Never Dull wadding polish!! I've been using it for years on the chrome on my Harley's, makes that chrome really shine nice and its only about $5 a can compared to $38+ for some silly wheel you have to use with a drill motor and you still have to use a cloth to clean up the residue!!

wax
Spray wax is perfect for our wheels. Just clean them very well, then use the spray wax. After that it won't take anything to clean them. As for brake dust, on my 07 I put ceramic pads that helped alot. Haven't checked to see if they're available for the 09's yet.
