Aluminum wheels
How do u care for polished aluminum wheels? Beside using the cleaners to get the tarnish off what else should I do. I didn't take them off the car this winter and there is all kinds of crap on them now. I got a dremel and some blue coral aluminum polish, going to do that this evening.

I'm assuming your wheels are clearcoated. If that is the case, I would not use aluminum polish. Those products are designed for non-clearcoated wheels.
It should be as easy as using some warm soap and water, followed up by a good quality wax or polymer, like Zaino or Meguiars.

what does your wheel still look like? lots of black stuff still on it?
you may need to use something a little stronger........soaking with windex or 409 should get that stuff off.
