Found these on CL for $175. Not a bad set of wheels whoot whoot I was just wondering what y'all use to clean your wheels like an acid or something. Here's the wheels I'm just looking to clean the one good time before I put them on my Jeep

LOL, I just traded the same rims for Moabs. I always used Maquire's Wheel Cleaner. Works really well!

On my aluminum slots on my CJ7 I use Mothers mag wheel polish with lots of elbow grease. Mine aren't clearcoated and yours don't appear to be either, but I could be wrong. http://www.farmandfleet.com/products...l#.TvJ4eDV8C8A Shines em right up.

I use stuff called zepalume, its an acid aluminum cleaner. Just mix with soap and water and use a brush, youll think those puppies are almost chrome when your done. Also makes anything white shine like a pearl

Nevr dull! I love this stuff, use it to make anything metal shine. Sure it takes some elbow grease but it works.

I googled it and you can buy 1 gallon to 55 gallon drums. 1 gal goes from $24.xx to $80.xx for a gallon
