polished wheels without clear coat

Damn those are sex. I can only hope I can get mine looking that good

It might be the camera, but I haven't polished them at all yet since I got them in the mail the other day. But I can tell they need a polish. My metal polish #2 should be here Friday so this weekend I'm gonna try to get them polished and sealed up
 
polished wheels are some of the easiest upkeep imo.
I wash mine whenever I wash the truck, blow them dry with a leaf blower so there's no water spotting, and just throw a polish on them to keep em looking good. the polished aluminum will shine great even when they're dirty unlike chrome, only problem you will run into that will degrade their finish is if you use cotton or other rough towels on them that induce micro scratches, those are much harder to remove with just a polish. and then a good sealant and wax to keep them nice. brake dust will be your wheels worst enemies, along with salts that can cause pitting and corrosion.
