I have been kinda wondering about aluminum. For a daily driver, my painted SPF is just about perfect. I just wash and occasionally wax it. A few nicks here and there. I am careful to avoid spotting on the aluminum parts, like my firewall and Trigo's. And my ceramic coated sidepipes. Engine cleaners, and stuff to wash off my tires has to be kept absolutely off the aluminum parts.

But how on earth do you keep an unpainted aluminum car from being spotted and speckled? If i find it a bit of a chore to not cause surface corrosion on my aluminum parts, how does one keep a street driven aluminum car pristine? Do you clear-coat it, or just wax it every morning?

I can't imagine not having a painted car, if one wants to actually put it out on the street. Just something i have been wondering about for a long time.
