Looks like I will need to change my avatar!!!
I just put a deposit on an 01 Pontiac Trans AM WS6 with 9,000 miles on it. 6 speed. Totally original. One owner. I am flying out to look at it next week. If all checks out, I`ll pull the trigger.

It will be my first time working with polished aluminum wheels. Why they didn`t go with chrome I`ll never know but anyway...
What do you guys recommend for wheels like these?

I have Optimum metal polish and HD metal polish. Will those products work? Should I just use a MF to polish them? How about general weekly cleaning?? Just Meg`s diluted APC ok?
Should I seal them?? If so, with what? I had read on another forum (not as good as this one obviously) that if you seal polished aluminum wheels they can lose some of their shine.
Can`t wait to polish that car with all the nooks and crannys....in my best Borat voice...NOT!!!
All help appreciated!!
