+1 vote for Blingmaster. I picked up a bottle last week since they are local to me, and I haven't gotten to use it on my TT2's...I used it on other random things and it worked great. Great guys to deal with too.

use some alum wheel polish on them...they look like polished and not chrome,,,,they need constant attention to keep them from doing that. looks like you got salt on em or they werent dry and sat for a long time,,,,if the polish wont get rid of them then wet sand and then polish again,,,, go from say 800 to 1000 to 1500 to 2000 or somthing like that.

Those have no clear coat correct? If they are bare aluminum do what everyone is suggesting try polishing them up with some blingmaster or another aluminum polish if you have some already. If that doesn't work do some light wet sanding followed by polish. They will come out great. My TT2's were pretty bad and I've kept them looking pretty close to that since doing the same process with mine. The biggest thing is whenever it rains I always wash them off before the water/dirt drys.
