Heartland RV aluminum wheels

I have looked at a lot of products for cleaning and polishing aluminum wheels but nothing I have found seems to apply to the aluminum wheels that Heartland uses on their 5th wheels.
  • I have alum on my Outback. I spray them with Wesleys bleech white when I clean the tires. Don't know if it's right or wrong and they may look better with something else, but look pretty good to me.

    If your wheels have a clear coat on them, you shouldn't need much more than soap and water. If polished aluminum finish, use any good polish for polished aluminum wheels.

  • I use Rejex on the trailer and our 17.5 rims. The rims still look like new.
  • Mothers or Meguiars brands work for me on a variety of aluminum wheels. What's the speciality about the Heartland wheels?
