Re: How to get oxidation off billet wheels

My vehicles stay outside, and obviously the aluminum wheels do too. When mine are neglected or get brake dust on them I use an aluminum brightener for cleaning A/C coils. Any heating and cooling supply house will have it. Just make sure to dilute according to the instructions. The aluminum is porous and the acid actually boils the dirt and contaminants right out of the pores, leaving you with a nice clean wheel to start polishing on.
