I just bought a very well kept '96 F250 with 1" thick ten hole aluminum wheels polished up real fine. I'm crippled up and can't get down to keep them up nice. What works best to keep them looking nice? Thank you, George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | ||

Only thing that works long term is to get the wheels clear coated after they are polished. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

Same as above. Any good body shop can clearcoat them. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

Thank you both. I've wondered about that already. I can spray them once I get down to do it. Local auto paint store will make up spray cans of whatever a person wants. I've had some paints mixed to match what's on the car. Then put into spray cans. I don't know what they use to pressurize them with. It's a quick simple operation though. They might even already have clear coat on the shelf. I sure don't like the stuff as it doesn't last long here in the sun. Once it starts peeling, sure looks bad when the paint is still nice.

Rather than a rattle can spray which may not last long, consider clear powder coat. Designed for wheels and other areas subject to road salt and/or harsh chemicals. https://www.cherishyourcar.com...t-polished-aluminum/ | |||

Might check on pricing of that. I've been pouring the money into finishing up the few things it's needed. Am down to needing a nice tailgate. This one towed a 5th wheel. Typical damage.
