Best way to keep natural aluminum looking new.

What is the best way to keep natural aluminum looking new? Items like a radiator or aftermarket hood hinges etc?

I was happy with the results using a mild acid, like wheel cleaner. Keep it off the polished aluminum!

I used zoopseal on my wheels and had used almost none of it. So I started zooping some of the other aluminum stuff on the car. The stuff is kinda expensive but goes a LONG way.. Time will tell. JR
