Just like the title says, I would like too clean up a set of brushed alum rims before I put new tires on them. Any advice as to what will work best? Thanks Albee

go to a trailer supply store (class 8 trailers) and get their aluminum cleaner.
Mine were in bad shape so I bit the bullet and had them bead blasted, then painted them. Turned out great.

That is a good idea.
Mother's aluminium polish and their red sponge ball that you use on your drill. Worked great on my sandblasted ATV rims. The only problem I found is that everytime I went to sand, I had to polish them again. So you may want to look into some kind of protector after the polish.

Muriatic acid, dilluted with water, scrub with a toothbrush. Rinse with water.

I've been using that stuff in the little tub for years. Works Great. I had an 83 Suzuki GS750e with a loud Kerker Pipe...it was Alum. I could shine it up to almost Chrome!

the 3M stuff is pretty skookum.
Zoops
Any one tried Zoops? They claim it's a good sealer form oxidation and lasts a long time. A bit expensive though....

March's polish is the stuff I use. It seems to work pretty well. The cleaner is a green floride acid that eats the grim and previous wax off the aluminum. Found it works best if it is put into a spray bottle and then just sprayed on. It turns the aluminum into a Satin finish and then you apply the wax with a terry cloth to get the high gloss shine back on it. I use in on alot of the engine seen as my profile picture. Awesome stuff when used right. Here's the link:

Zoop's is a good one too.
