Thanks guys! I thought he was a bit ambitious when he suggested using the clay bar, but it actually took less time than taking the polishing wheel to it.We only spent the day on it but didn't get to the aluminum rims. That's a messy job for sure and doesn't last very long.

Sad part is it looks good heading out the driveway at the beginning of the week, but dirty again when he gets home.

Anyone know of a good finishing product that keeps the aluminum shiny for longer?

He just painted them last year. Trying to keep the tanks shiny was quite frustrating. Not sure if it was the tanks, the polish products or just too much road dirt that made it so difficult.

LOL....that's why the hood is open, I climbed up by stepping on the side air filter cans, engine and I think part of the turbo intake? Amazing how durable it is in there.
