I've had amazing results with Meguiar'sŪ Hot RimsŪ Mag and Aluminum Polish on my MM 951's. Not only on the Moto Metals but my chrome steps, chromed badges and exhaust tips.

Application/removal is very easy and the finish will impress you.

Good luck.

If the question was directed at me...

I have had some oxidation on the rims and the Meguiar'sŪ Hot RimsŪ Mag and Aluminum Polish did take them off completely.

It did an average job on the oxidation on my exhaust tips, though.... taking much off but not making a mark on some other areas. Dunno... Worked the best on my chrome steps.

I use nothing but the aformentioned product on my rims following a hand wash and MF towel dry.... though one time I did use Meguiar'sŪ Hot Rims Chrome Polish but didn't get the same results, so I scrapped it.

P21s Gel, best and safest wheel cleaner out there. Then polish them with a chrome polish. Might want to look into English Metal Polishes.
