Wash them properly
As good as a product as Aluminium is you still need to look after it. There are lots of aluminium cleaners on the market, but a simple 2 bucket wash process will work just as well. Have one bucket with clean water and another with diluted car wash, wash all the surfaces being careful to remove any stains, grime and salt build up. Hose it down when you are happy its clean enough for you.
Now most utes are going to be treated pretty harshly, life on a worksite can get dirty and you can deal with a host of different materials. For the more stubborn stains and build ups you may need to use some of that Aluminium cleaner and a good pressure hose and give it a proper blast. Acting quickly when you have grease and concrete build up will make it easier to remove the offending garbage.
Washing and keeping you tray clean will keep your aluminium ute tray looking fresh but will also add to its lifespan, win-win!
Don’t use harsh chemicals on your aluminium ute tray, some can cause oxidisation and can damage your tray as well as make it look terrible.
Use a cover
It might seem like a pretty simple solution but if you have a tonneau cover then when you aren’t carrying a load in your try keep your cover on. It will help protect your tray from the elements and add to the life of the tray. If you don’t have a tonneau cover do yourself a favour and get yourself one it will save you money in the long run and you won’t spend half your weekend washing your car.
