certifiednut Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 they sell wheel cleaner at the auto parts store, maybe even walmart. i believe it is in a orange spray bottle. it has some kind of acid in it Quote these orphans aren't going to feast on themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandiman71874 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 when you say aluminum silver, are you trying to say they are painted silver or polished aluminum that is just nasty as all hell from neglect?

kandiman71874 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 This is why i ask. I recently bought a set of wheels from my boss that looked like severe hell b4 the clean up. They literally looked like it had black mold spores growing all over them in splotchy sections. We used a product called Zep-A-Lume to clean them up to this point. After that it was off to good ole elbow grease with polishing clothes and a tub of Mothers Mag Wheel and aluminum polish paste. After about 4 hours per wheel they now look like this.. Its alot of hard ass work but in the end they come out looking very good. But this process only works if they are polished wheels, not painted.

2K XJ Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Sorry if this is late...but I work as a detailer at a used car dealership, so I see a lot of used cars come in that had previous owners that hated to take care of the wheels If the stuff is really stubborn you will have to use really strong chemicals to get it off. At my shop I use a acid alluminum brightener. It works wonders, and can usually clean wheels up extremely fast. Today I was painting my rims black, and while I had the rims off the Jeep I decided to clean the backsides of the rims just cuz. I wouldnt be surprised if it was the first time they have been washed ever. Started like this Ended up like this That was after only going over once. I really don't care about how my rims look like on the backside as no one ever sees them, but you can literally get any rim looking great with this stuff no matter how bad it looks now. The stuff I use is industrial strength, and we get it in bulk in like 10 gallon containers...so I'm not even sure if you'll be able to get it...but if you can, its worth looking into.
