"Good afternoon, my name is Tom Brintzenhofe, certified master mechanic from Redding, Pennsylvania and today we're going to talk briefly about how to clean aluminum MAG wheels. Now unfortunately I have industrial cleaner here that's not available to the public, but there's lots of products out there made from Mother's, Total Wax, Mag1 makes a good product. If you're not sure and if that product's not available in your area, stop in your local parts store, they can send you in the right direction. Most of the products out there are all wonderful products and they can steer you in the right direction. But for this purpose, we're going to use industrial cleaner that I have here. You just spray it on a rag, just find your area here that's nice and dirty and just take this cleaner, just wipe it off a little bit. OK, once you get your area done, just wipe over it a little bit here. You can move on up through. Try not to scrub too hard because a lot of these newer wheels are all clear coated. That's about all there is to it. You find yourself a decent cleaner that's available in your area and just sometimes it takes a little elbow grease, but there's not much to it."
