I have found that the three part Alcoa polishing system works wonders on our Alcoas. There is a cleaner, the polish then the sealant. At first, I DID NOT use the sealant which is said to keep the wheels shiny 5 or 6 times longer than without. In a month or two they began getting dull again. Later, when I did polish them, I used the sealant. It works. They stay shiny for months.

This trip I will be using another Alcoa on the front wheels, one modified to be hub centered and that aligns with the rear wheels. In short, the front and rear will have the same wheelbase. Just cleaned and polished one today. Wow! Beautiful! Come by and take a look at Du Quion(if the Michelins on these wheels(made in '07) hold up. Don't like Michelins after two blow outs. Now go with Bridgestone). BTW, my Alcoas were bought in 2003 and still look great.....Michael at GEMRECS
Buy Alcoa polish from Jim Kanomata and others
