Aliminum rims

olaft · 06-17-2003, 05:56 PM

Please someone help me! My brother borrowed my truck while I was out of town, and decided he would clean it for the weekend. Only when cleaning the rims, he used chrome cleaner instead of polished aluminum. Now there is a milky white film or haze on my rims and I can't get it off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Use SEMICHROME or FLITZ. You can use either of these products on aluminum with excellent results. I would try the semichrome first. I have used it for years. It was first sold in my area at the police supply shops for badges & whatnot. Now most of your Harley shops carry it as a detailer. It is great! Flitz is great at removing crap from rims too!

mothers sucks, go to your local advanced auto and pick up some blue magic polish, it works great, get the paste not the kind in a squeeze bottle.

Get some duragloss 851 its the best stuff you will ever use my wheels had brake dust on them really bad and that stuff ate it in like 2 minutes.
Then get u some eagle one nevr dull polisher its in a metal can and its sort of like cotton and you just tear off what you need and when your done put it back in the can.
You can get it at wal mart for like 3 dollars.
and the duragloss is like 5 dollars

Semichrome, Flitz, etc work great. I use Blue Magic it works good
to. I have this coming pretty soon. I though it was a rinky-dink
deal, that ball thing for the drill, until I saw it at a trade
show. Couldn't believe how well it worked on rims. Ck this link
out. Once you get it all nice and shiny, ck out the other link.
I see this stuff used on some show rides.
