Default How to clean brushed aluminum

So I got a new Begi turbo heat shield turbine heat shield and their radiator panel and I also have a few interior pieces all made of brushed aluminum. What's the best way to clean and maintain it all?

It usually just wipes clean for me. If I want to knock off the water spots and fingerprints, I'll grab some windex or similar. Try not to clean it when it's warm.

+1 for Never Dull. That works well and so does Mothers AL polish.

This is what Corky uses. Just make sure you wipe in the same direction as the "grain" on the piece you are cleaning...
