Of course since it's raw aluminum it wants to rot, stain, get patchy, etc Every 6 months or so I go to town on it with mothers aluminum polish, and then spray and polish with s100 polish/corrosion protectant (it's actually marketed for motorcycles). Same procedure front and back.
It should be covered with at least a spray on detail wax when washed or it will pit. Not as bad as it sounds IMO. 2-3hrs of work for front and back every 6 months or simple spritz wax when washed.
I use a power washer with a soap/wax combo on the whole van when I clean it, so spray on wax isn't even a separate step.
