Rims.....

A couple months back I bought some Outlaw 2 rims, caps, lugs, and had them put on my truck and was wondering what can I clean them up with?.......

Also noticed seems like one of them has a dull look to it.......it dont seem to shine like the others......

What kind of cleaner and stuff is good to wash ur truck with, ect?......thanks a bunch.....

The clearcoat may have been stripped off the dull wheel?? If that is the case that wheel should come clean with metal polish,the other 3 you will need to use a polish that is safe for clearcoat finishes.
The dull wheel will show you why most aluminum wheels come clearcoated.Bare aluminum can be a bear to keep shiney.

Most aftermarket wheels are bare, polished aluminum. You can easily stain them with harsh chemicals. I would bet this is the case with your wheels.

I was just assuming they were clearcoated because these Outlaw 2's are.

But I could be wrong.

Check Pacer's website and see if you can locate your wheel.
