Cleaning My Wheels For Summer
Hi,
I have a set of rims that I used late last fall before I took them off, and over the winter the finish (polished aluminum) has become oxidized or whatever the term is. I tried turtle wax rim cleaner and turtle wax chrome polish, but they don't bring back the shine. Does anyone know of any good products? I remember I was watching trucks on spike, and that clown stacy used something called metal armour, but I doubt they will have that at canadian tire.
Thanks for the help!

how does he "rice" trucks out?? everything he does to a truck he tests it at the end of the show to prove that it works....sure he does lower some trucks and put 22's and such....but usully there is a supercharger or nitrous hooked up....and how is diesel tuning rice? 13's out of a crew cab diesel with a few bolt on's does not seem like rice to me.....oh my god he chopped the top on a truck and painted it hes a ricer but that 1000hp motor shoved between the fenders dont seem to ricey to me...i admit the mullet is ghey but hey what can you do...we all cant spend an hour doing our hair like the guys at the woodbridge meets

best is if its just the lip that oxidized is to remove the clear there and wet sand down till lip is smooth and cut down with a fine metal compound and re-clear.
post a pic cause it all depends on what is actually wrong with the rims etc.. easier for people to help you when they can see the actuall problem your having.
