Great way to clean your UIM

following it up with some polish would help as a finishing step, that gets you more bling

I wasn't really going for bling just clean. But maybe that would create a barrier between the aluminum and the atmosphere keeping it from oxidizing. I'll have to see how it holds up and go from there. Maybe DMoney can shed some insight to the durability of the finish.

I haven't really had a chance lately with my car because of all the works thats getting done. What I use to do though is just clean it with soapy water. Once I do get my car back (1-2 weeks) I will let ya'll know.

I don't really wanna repeat the process or because I like the medium shine that it holds. But I have used a light amount of polish on it and I didn't really see a difference. It helped remove some of the miniscule grime and steel that was left though.

In regards to guy who said the steel wool would imbed in the stuff. I think some does but alot of it just flakes away when you are rubbing. Even so, when you wipe it down or use a light amount of polish I think it gets most of it.
