Polished Aluminum or MSS
Any thought on Polished Aluminum on my Aqua Blue 2SS or are they very high maintenance. I do not doubt they are gorgeous after delivery with an afternoon of Mothers!
Can anyone vouch that the polished aluminum is clearcoated ??

I can't decide which i want either, I know the polished ones are going to take some work, it wont take much driving to start showing the brake dust but the midnight ones look pretty awesome too

The polished wheels are probably clear coated like all other OEM wheels. No polishing required.

It was something my dealer told me...keeping 'em clean should be a snap because they do have a clear coat.

The polished wheels will be clear coated. Thats a standard finish on GM wheels. Very easy to clean and you only need a cleaner wax to take care of the road funk and brake dust. Less time cleaning leaves more time driving.
