Subject: The trick to keep that chrome-like finish
In reply to: Phil 's message, "Takes Elbow Grease" on 22:30:25 11/27/01 Tue

Aluminum should never be left "bare naked". The flat dish wheels come from the factory with an anodized finish to protect them. The Cup wheels are painted. Once you remove that finish and polish them up to a chrome-like shine (which I think looks really good) you have left the aluminum completely unprotected from the elements and brake dust. They will "rust" faster than bare steel. But all you have to do to protect them is cover them with paint. Simply polish them up to a perfect shine and then paint them with clear paint. They will look like they're chrome plated for a long time. Just a side not though - getting an excellent clear paint finish out of a spray-bomb is almost impossible. You really need to send them out to be "done".
