What do you guys all use to clean your rims. I have black bullits with the polished aluminum lip.

i use soap and water first, then i polish them with mothers mag and aluminum polish. ive been using it for years, and it will make aluminum stay good for a long time and shine up till its identical to chrome.

a really fine wetsanding block and lots of wheel polish. yeah mine are polished aluminum and they got trashed during winter, so the only way to clean them up was taking the wet sanding approach. turned out pretty good so far, i got all the crap off them now i just have to shine them up. i used mother aluminum polish, and this nanopolish stuff for wheels. both work about the same. for powdercoated wheels i just made sure to clean them once a week, just to keep the brake dust off them.
