Default ? about cleaning TT2s

Just wondering what you guys would recommend for cleaning my TT2s? Obviously don't want to scratch them or anything. What do you guys use? All input would be appreciated. Thanks

for polished aluminum I used white diamond metal polish...I've only found it at truck stops and a few places onlines...it works absolutely great and I'll never use another polish...

Theres no easy way to clean them once dirty, prepare to spend a couple hours getting your wheels cleaned up. In spots that are really bad or acid etched take some fine steel wool to it then polish it out

Thanks for all of the input guys. I've never heard of Blingmaster. Any special place that you have to order it from or anything?
