Re: Cleaning Really Bad Aluminum Wheels

I know that stuff. Guys use it on their dump bodies (tanks/wheels) and it makes it easy to keep them nice. These wheels were many steps away from polishing,more like crusty. I got them "clean" now,so they could be polished if I wanted. But,I kinda dig the raw aluminum look on 8-lug slots on a 4wd. Just utilitarian beefy lighter weight wheels. These wheels never came highly polished,as I recall them. A show vehicle my truck is not
