I'm getting some new wheels that have clear coated centers and uncoated polished outer rims. Anyone had good results with Zaino on uncoated polished aluminum?

Or, should I just stick with Mothers aluminum polish and their polish for clear coated wheels?

Just received this email from Sal:

Non-Clear Coated aluminum wheel care:

Clean your wheels using your favorite aluminum polish to remove any
oxidation. The abrasives in these aluminum polishes is what cleans and
polishes the aluminum and makes it look good. However this aluminum
polishes offer no protecion and the aluminum starts to get dirty and oxidize
very fast. After cleaning your aluminum wheels I recommend the following;

Zaino Z-1 Polish Lok or the new ZFX accelerator should be used on the
wheels with Z-2 or Z-5. Z-2 Z-5 is very durable and will keep the wheels
protected from water abrasion and super heated brake dust. Z-2, Z-5 will
blow away anything, you were prevously using. Get at least 2 to 3 coats of
Z-2 on them. It will make those wheels look better than new. And help them
stay that way. Just remember the wheels get the most abuse, so keep them
maintained regularly with Z-2 or Z-5 show Car polish. Also use Z-6 "Gloss Enhancer" spray between every coat of Z-2. It really helps give a three dimensional look. Its antistatic formula will reduce brake dust and dirt pickup by 60%. Your wheels will stay cleaner longer and look better than new.
Guaranteed!

Don't skip the Z6!!! I've found Z6 to make the biggest visual difference on shiny metals like chrome and polished aluminum....

I would follow Sal's instructions listed above. Once the initial work is done maintenance is pretty easy just use Z6 and apply an occasional coat of Z5/Z2 when you feel you need to.
