Coated or Uncoated Aluminum Wheels
I just had aluminum wheels put on my Berkshire. The new wheels are Accuride. I know that either Accuride or Alcoa are coated, but I'm not sure which is coated and which is not. The wheels are 22.5"...

Polish and or wax them only. Do not use chemicals/cleaners for uncoated aluminum wheels.
I had a car wash destroy a set of coated wheels on a Chevy I owned by spraying it with acid to clean them. They turned black and then the coating peeled and so on. The acid penetrated the coating. No matter how tough the new finishes are they won't take it for long or at all.
If road grime and dust makes them dull simply washing them with a pad like you would the other parts of the coach should do it. NuFinish or any other polish will make them look bright.
A real polish might be needed some time or other but nothing aggressive.
:C what he said.
