There are a few other sealing systems on the market, or you could do a clear powdercoat.

 

not unless u have them dipped in liquid chrome or have them chrome plated

 

My son had a powder coating set up for a while, he clear coated a lot of headache racks, and it worked well, I wish I had gotten him to do mine. He did a lot of tanks, but usually in a color to match the truck.

 

Home powdercoating isn't too difficult using a junk oven you pick up from Craigslist but you are limited to the small volume of the oven. Maybe for doing individual wheels at a time.

 

I had him coat my wheels, but it would take a pretty big oven to get a truck wheel in.

 

I have been intending to try out the home powder coating on my cast bullets, just haven't got around to it.

On my truck, since my tanks are black and my wheels are to, I am thinking anout putting the black bedliner on my headache rack to get rid of that aluminum too.

 

Plenty of wax type products to choose from. Just google search aluminum wax. May have to apply two or three times a year.

 

Hot soapy water scrubbing with a mitt or brush,not just pressure wash is really the best you can do in between polishing. Keep the grim build up to a minimum and do your best not to scratch them with dirty rags.

 

Clear lacquer, put some grease or tape on the tire.Rustoleum in a 4$spray bomb. Do it on a small section first to make sure you like it, it's hard to remove.
