hey all,
i have a set of raceline polished aluminum rims on my lifted excursion. this truck sees some winter duty in NW ohio. we use salt and other crud on the roads. trying to polish them back up and i'm not getting very good results. i've attached some pics. the rims appear cloudy and what i am using isn't cutting through the corrosion/oxidation. the pics actually look better then real life (don't they usually?!) what i have tried thus far:
washed with soap/water, cotton cylinders in a power drill with both mothers and meguires metal polishes, 0000 steel wool with same polishes. i have a pc da and a dewalt rotary buffer at my disposal with limited use and i have limited knowledge of both. what should i try to clean these up better?
any help greatly appreciated...of note the center caps are new as the units that were on over winter were really rusted and corroded.
