Just bought polished aluminum formula wheels

I just got a steal of a deal from ATOMONKEY, I bought four polished aluminum formula wheels with rubber on them for 100 bucks!! There are a few places on the two front rims that need attention. I did a search and got conflicting answers on what to use on bare aluminum. Some people say mothers, some say blue magic, and mark is standing firm with windex. So what should i use to clean them? Thanks guys, by the way, these 16x8 inch wheels are a big improvement or my base firebird wheels. My car actually has a stance now!!!!!!!!!:lala:

Shipping was a big fat zero, adam lives like 40 minutes from me, so just gas money for me. I was going to buy some off ebay a while back, i think it was like 10 per wheel

Those are nice wheels man!! Well I dont know what kind or brand to use. I tried Mothers and it works just fine. It seems to keep the shine longer and the brake dust and road grime dosnt stick as easily. The only way to know for sure is trial and error. Have fun rolling on the new wheels.:rockon:

You got a killer deal. I don't think I could sell mine after all the work I put into them.
