Default aluminum sealer???

I have polished a lot of the aluminum under the hood also the wheels, what I am wondering is there a sealer I can use ? I have seen something in the past but I can't remember what it was. Thanks

Anything you use will dull the shine a bit.

you have two choices, re-polish every so often or cover with a clear coat and lose some of the shine.

I use CD-2 on the engine coats all parts, not sure about the wheels except just keeping them polished.

I don't think that a clear coat would work because the surface is too smooth for it to stick. I have seen several wheels where someone tried to clear them and all that happened is the clear started peeling after sometime

I have always heard good things about Zoop Seal.
Never tired it myself though, but a lot of car show people swear by it.
