I need help cleaning up alumium wheels!!!!!!!!!!
I bough the wheels Jason (Chevyslayer925) had for sale.
I told him if he didnt have a chance to clean them up then it was fine. so i got some dirty wheels with some minor pitting.
i took a spong with simple green to them and they cleaned up pretty decent.
before
After
the pitting i want to get out.
what can i do to make these look like new?
thanks

Sanding them is very long and drawn out. get some Steel wool and rub those suckers out. then go down to sutozone or wherever you get your cleaning supplies, and get some Meguiars Mag and Aluminum polish. I do this every year to the Grand National my grandfather has that he lets sit outside all year covered, i've never had a problem getting the pitting out.

a lot of aluminum wheels come clear coated. all OEM ranger wheels are aluminum, they're clear coated. Procomp 1069, clear coated, etc.
The wheels in this thread are clear so the pitting will not come off using steel wool or sand paper. As stated above multiple times you have to strip the entire wheel with aircraft stripper then sand and then polish. (re clear if you want to)

micky thompsons arnt cleared from the factory. so they are one of the few you can steel wool to a near perfect condition. your best bet is to either run what you have there or remove all the clear and redo them and clear it again which would take more effort than needed.
