Care and feeding of aluminum wheels
Can you over care for your aluminum wheels....? How often should they be cleaned...?
After stumbling across the linked picture..... I really don't think there is any argument against daily polishing..... (disclaimer...if your kid is looking over your shoulder don't click the link. If you do don't belly ache.)

GULP!

Work like that always leaves me parched...
