Yep, those factory wheels are clear coated. You simply use a gentle cleaner to maintain them, apply a wax or sealant regularly, and use the same polishes you'd use on any other painted surface to remove scratches or defects.

A lot of people assume they're 'polished aluminum' but in reality the finish is almost identical to what they spray on the rest of the truck -- just a standard clear coat.
