If you have sanded thoroughly all the way up to 2000grit wet, you will then have to get a highspeed (and I mean high speed) drill and a spiral sewn cotton wheel small enough to get into the tight spots. Apply the brown tripoli compound and start polishing. Attention to detail at this phase is very important. Once you have finished with that you should have a gleaming finish, but don't stop there. Follow it up with a generous rubbing of Mother's metal polish. Other people on this forum suggest Flitz but I do not have that much experience with that product. Your wheels should look chrome by now.

Hello:
The web site you're on belongs to a fine company called Caswell Inc. that sells everything you're looking for. Just go to http://www.caswellplating.com You might also want to look at some felt bobs. They do an excellent job of getting into small places. Regards

I would suggest a clear spray for bare metal, or clear powder coat. I have used ZOOP SEAL and it will stain when exposed to the elements. If your going to clear spray make sure that you clean the aluminum with brake cleaner of lacquer thinner, wear rubber gloves so that you don't leave your finger prints on the raw aluminum, then spray.
