Super clean doesn't like polished aluminum

[patacoma05]

Ok first off I searched the entire forum before posting this thread so please don't torch me if I missed it.

I got some overspray from Super Clean I sprayed on my tires to knock the mud off on my Aluminum polished DC-1's today. It has some little spots on the wheels now, nothing to major but it just bugs me. What is the best product to polish these back to the way they were. Yep I'm an idiot!!!!

Adam's Metal Polish #1 and #2. It's seriously the best metal polish I've tried, and it's one of my favorite products in the Adam's line of products. Toyota Nation members get a 10% discount on Adam's stuff.

Next time you want to clean your tires get some Eagle One All Wheel & Tire Cleaner. Most auto parts stores carry it. It's safe on aluminum. And it cleans tires real well. Scrub tires with a brush for best results.

There are quite a few cleaners that will discolor bare aluminum -- always read the fine print.

Any quality metal polish should do the trick, and I haven't tried the Adams, but if PB says it's good, it must be good. I know you can get Mothers about anywhere, and if they're really mirror-like, try the Billet polish.

Mother's has made aluminum polish for decades, and their stuff seems to work good, so I was skeptical that a small company like Adam's would be able to out-do them, but they did. The Adams metal polish produces results faster and shinier. My shiny wheels often spark up conversations with strangers about how they want their wheels to look as good as mine. It has resulted in getting me some new customers. (I detail vehicles part-time)
