I just bought a set of aluminum rims that were corroded as can be from michigan salt and was wondering if anyone knew what i could use to take the clear coat and the corrosion off without damaging the rims of course. anyone know of what I can do? Im kinda kickin myself in the ***** for buying these....

 

Wire brush and a can of flat black Krylon is in your near future! They will look brand new and super sweet. If life gives you lemons....

 

yea see they are AR outlawII rims and thats a no no

 

It depends how bad they are in... some autosol and a lot or rubbing or a sand blaster and some wheel paint! A friend and I refinished a few sets of fact alluminum wheels before we could afford new ones lol!

 

theres some crap i used on my very dull aluminum wheels and it brought them back to a nice shine. Heres a pic of the stuff and the drill attachment i used (came with a headlight restoration kit)



heres a before and after wheel, think i did one more polishing with the wheel after this pic.



the pictures dont really show how bad they used to look and how good they do now, but there is a big difference
