Cleaning wheels
My brother's '93 conv has factory sawbaldes on it that are tarnished around the edges.
Please recommend a product to clean them up as they are pretty ugly when you look at them closely. My 5-spokes do not get this same tarnishing but I clean my car 20X more often than he does.
As always, thanks in advance for any help.

It sounds like they are pretty nasty though and you need something to cut through the dirt.
If it were me, I would use some of that Meguirs mirror glaze Fine-Cut Cleaner # 2.
No. 2 Fine Cut Cleaner will remove most stains, blemishes, scratches, swirls, water spots and oxidation with ease.
After cleaning with Fine Cut, follow with Meguiar's No. 9 Swirl Remover and finish with your favorite wax.

Cleared coated???
I would have never thought of that! I figured they were just aluminium so I am glad I asked. Sounds like I treat them like cleaning old paint and I know what to do from here.
Thanks very much.
