    Polished Aluminum Wheels

    what is the best protectant for them? Should I just use a sealant or is there something better?

    Re: Polished Aluminum Wheels

    The best thing iv`e found so far is White Diamond (surprisingly at advanced auto parts)
    Here is my review of it.

    http://www.autopiaforums.com/forums/...al-polish.html

    has a sealant in it, & works very well.
    I sometimes top with Blackfire Metal Sealant though, durability is really good.

    I am with Colin on this. I picked up some White Diamond as well and it`s an amazing metal polish. I have always also used BF Metal Sealantl.

    You can`t go wrong with either.

    BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Metal Acrylic Sealant works on protecting billet type aluminum, plated, anodized and/or clear coated wheels.
