Anyone got any tips on keeping my aluminum clean and shiny? I’m looking for the lazy man’s approach that I can do and that doesn't involve sitting on a milk crate on hot black top at a truck stop lot shining in the hot sun approach.

Sorry 'bout the triple post. Not sure how it happened or how to undo it.

I fixed the triple post problem for ya. ;)
I dunno about the lazy mans way of keeping aluminum shiny.
One time I had some MacQuires wheel cleaner (safe for all wheels) and was gonna clean the aluminum rims on my pickup. After losing interest with that project, I sprayed a little bit on a inconspicuos (sp) spot on the back side of my fuel tank on the Pete I had.
I let it sit for a bit then sprayed it off with the hose. It looked ok, but I think it'd get awful spendy buying enough to shine up a truck. :yikes:

Break loose with some of that folding green and have some one else do it.
After it gets done to your specs and liking put a good coat of wax on it and it should hold it through the winter.
Same for your aluminum wheels. shine em to your liking and wax em good.
Same wax you put on your tractor
