pitted use a commercially available chrome polish.

A protective coating is provided over aluminum wheels.
Clean aluminum wheels with a cleaner designed for use

face. Be sure to use a sponge, chamois, etc.
Do not apply hot water directly from a steam
cleaner to the wheel surface.
Wheels exposed to sea water or road chemicals
should be cleaned as soon as possible.
