What do or would you use on Ford F-350 OEM Alcoa wheel? The wheels have light scratches, like swirl marks on them.I think they might be clear coated but the Alcoa site doesn't say.I bought this truck 2 years ago and now it's time to detail it.

They look clear coated so any good polish like PB Pro-polish would do it....your going to need some elbow grease on them but that will smooth out the clear and bring back some luster.....I would also follow that up with a sealant to give them a bit more protection

Propolish would work on them if they are clear coated or not.

VW if you say that they are like that after 2 years then I would take a guess and say that they are clear coated. After cleaning them apply a sealant like Beemerboy suggested to make the upkeep easy.

Good luck

Are you sure those are alcoas rims? I've worked on many many ford oem alcoa rims, the only superduty's they came on were 450's and up and they were 10 lug and alot bigger then those. Those look like stock ford 350 rims. I'm not saying yours are not alcoa, if they are, there dealer added and not from the factory.

Anyways them rims are clearcoated, whatever polish you plan on getting for your paint will work on your rims also.

All the years i worked at ford, i didn't know that alcoa made the stock wheels for dualies.

When you said alcoa i was thinking about the 19.5' 10 lug ones that come on 450's and 550's. I worked at one of the leading superduty dealerships in the country so i've polished many many sets of them.
