Alloy wheel cleaner?

Route 66 · 2010-06-21 10:54:30

Hello, Can anyone advise how to remove pitting/oxidisation on the alloy wheels? The regular wheel cleaner doesn't work. Is there any household product that would do this? Thank you

Need to get them refurbished or sand them down and re lacquer them yourself

Thanks for your reply. That would be the ultimate job, but because they are not that bad yet I thought maybe there was some halfway solution to that, some polishing paste or something. Thanks anyway

Use a craft or stanley knife to lift the laquer at the infected areas,then polish with metal polish(autosol is good),clean with thinners or spirits then coat the area with clear nail varnish.
