Question How to clean and maintain Anodized wheels

Whats the best way? They are brushed anodized, so no clear coat.

They are starting to fade and I need to figure out how to make them pretty again.

What's the best way to keep them that way?

Yea they are definitely not cleared, is the polish going to bring back the old colour? Like they are pretty faded :s

I just ordered Motul Wash and Wax from the Work Wheels online store. I saw the work reps using this product on their dispaly wheels and they seem to like it and recommend it. I'll give it a shot and report how it goes. I have Works as well Gnosis GS2 Burning Black.

SO I'm using this turtle wax (I know I hate them too) colormagic ****, it works great. Fully brought back the old black and protects them pretty well to water and what not.

I had the faces out of the wheels and gave all the hardware a good polish before putting them back together.

But if you have a wheel that is not clear coated I would highly recommend this.




Btw, guys, I don't have works. They're CCWs
