Re: Wheel question

In answer to you question, one would have to know what you have for wheels on the truck. Many factory wheels have a clear coat finish on them, which if you polish them, the finish would be messed up. There are people in my area that do wheel restorations and finish up their work with a new clear coat on the rim. I have had it done on a car rim and they do excellent work. If the rim is not a clear coated rim, then sand with a 600 grit wet and dry paper (using WD-40) as your wetting agent and then polish to whatever quality that you want using the different types of metal polisht hat is available.

If your truck has the factory spoked rims tha has the plastic cover glued over the aluminum rim, then you are pretty much on your own, there. Not replaceable and not able to remove deep scratches if they are there.
