    Well you'd have to polish them to make aluminum shine

    Acid will eat up dirt and some aluminum. They will come out "ruff looking" but allot brighter

    Take them to a shop and have them done professionally if their so valuable

      Wash them with a MF Wash Mitt using GC Shampoo, or NXT Tech Wash

      Then Polish them using Meguiars Mag & Aluminum Polish



      A coat of NXT Wax would look nice too

      For the Tires, Wash with a brush and car soap.

      You can try Wesley's Bleche White on the White Wall, But don't get it on the wheels at all.

      GC High Gloss Endurance Tire Gel is nice too
