2SS/RS Painted Aluminum Polishing
Hi,
Washing my car for the first time. I have the factory 20" wheels on my SS and believe that they are Painted Aluminum wheels. How does one go about keeping the shine alive? I just washed them with car soap... they look decent now, but I know in the future they wont. What have yall done?

In my case; Zaino, Zaino, Zaino.
I've used it on all the cars I've detailed, and the wheels look great. |

I bought some Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish. I used it in an inconspicuous part of my wheel (I hope)... but it didn't turn black like the directions said. So I immediately discontinued use. Outside of the internet, where can one pick up Zaino locally?
I've only been to Advance Auto Parts... so maybe Autozone or Pep Boys?

Zaino Z-CS works great on painted wheels.
