Dull wheels

I have a 2008 Montana and the wheels are starting to look very dull!! I used wax on them helped a little.. all it did was make the dull shine... still looks dull. I think they are cast aluminum wheels..
Any suggestions on how to make them look like new..

I have used this stuff on my motorcycle aluminum parts for years and it works great!

Most all aluminum rims from Tredit are clear coated after they are polished ... unless you remove the clear coat, you're only polishing/waxing paint. Somehow the polish starts to dull even under the clearcoat ... it happens on my boat trailer wheels as well. The clearcoat is chalking out probably in your case.

As long as everything else continues to hold together and operate correctly guess I can live with unshiney wheels. There are several aluminum polishes out there you could try
