I let my girl wash my truck. Gave her specific intructions to leave the wheels alone well she "SPRAYED' her wheel cleaner on them. I just picked up some Wolfgang MetallWerk it was like $80. I was using Hot Rims but even that got me no place i then used mothers mag polish and got someplace. Now I don't have my drill so life sucks. I contacted the wheel expert on here and he said I have to take them off and polish them. This is how far I've gotten in 4 hours on 1 yes ONE wheel.

Before


Half Way In

 

Yep, acidic wheel cleaners will ruin polished aluminum wheels. I assume it wasn't on the wheel long because normally they are etched.

 

This was the product used.

Sonax did that?! It's very safe to use and regarded as one of the safest wheels cleaners. Very weird! Maybe the wheels were hot?

 

Have you tried 0000 steel wool?

 

ahh man they are ruined! you should just send them to me now. k thanks.

 

LOL ! LOL ! LOL!

 

Murder it!

 

After 6 hours of continuous polishing. 24 Micro Fibers, I killed one corded drill and went through 4 batteries on the Dewalt i have gotten them to look brand spanking new.

 

Well since they're ruined ill give you a deal... hows $20 a rim sound?

 

Shoulda saved you all that money and bought Busch Super Shine Aluminum Polish. Its like $15 shipped

thats what I used to make mine go from this:





To this:

 

Never noticed that pretty cool lookin' centercap on those wheels Scott.

 

Holy hell, I think imma get some of that stuff and try it on my wheels.

 

^ Cleanest wheel ever.

 

That looks cleaner than my wheels were out of the box. lol

 

thats the pacer centercap. one reasound why i like the pacer wheels. it doesnt rust as it is plastic with chrome dip

 

what have we learned from this? lol

 

don't let female touch truck.

 

 

My mom put that wheel cleaner on her new Caddy wheels. Wrong move! I hate that stuff.

 

its good on factory coated wheels. Other than that polished Aluminum bad idea.

It's cool how it changes colors

 

There's always the old steel wool. THey looked like a wheel that ran through a WI winter before.

 

Looks like some good stuff Scott. That what my wheels look like right now. Maybe I need to get some of that stuff.

 

Haha, you made me laugh

 

I want to get some rims like that also and polish them up with clay bars but I was wondering if there is a protective coating that could be applied like wax or something.
