Hey all
Picked up a set of cheap wheels for my wife's car that were previously used for winter use. Since they're just cheap wheels + bare aluminum, it's not surprising the aluminum is starting to corrode where it's machined but not clear coated.

First, from my understanding from the Car Pro site, it would be safe to use Iron X on these during clean up, correct?
Second, it didn't show very well in the picture, but where the corrosion is starting actually has a light machined texture to it - any recommendations for what to use to clean these up without making that texture uneven? Hoping to not spend a week getting them all cleaned up. I currently have Griot's compounds/polishes (BOSS and Complete) and Mother's mag and aluminum polish (looks like it may be from '00 if it matters).
Thanks!
