I'd try the new Meguiar's Chrome polish. I've heard really good things about it. You will need to start off with something a bit more aggressive though, like the Hot Rims polish.

Is that Hot rims polish the stuff in the can... the Mag and Aluminum polish??


Also do you think if i used an old piece of clay... i could clay the inside of the rim??? Do you think that would work well?

It's not THAT aggresive, it doesn't take the finish off or anything
you got to do what you got to do.


You should see what we have to do when the brake dust is caked on from years of driving and not washing your wheels..

grinder!

Yeah, in the black can. It can be used on chrome too. It sure couldn't hurt to go at it a bit with some clay first. Worst case- it won't do anything and you are right where you are at right now.

1badstx- I hear ya. I suppose on the inside of the wheel, that wouldn't be too bad. All I know is spent a good 3 hours or so trying to get that sticky weight crap off my wheels with goo gone, wd40, and a plastic razor.

Ok guys... I dropped 70 bones haha... I hate this place...

I bought ADS's Chrome Polishing pack... The first thing listed

http://autodetailingsolutions.com/me...shing-cone.htm

Meguiars Hot Rim Mag and Aluminum Polish

a couple Lake Country CCS Light finishing pads (for use with #26 and Collinite 476 LSP's)

All that was from ADS then...

Collinite 476 (Ebay)

Next weekend HOPEFULLY it will be nice... I will be doing a FULL DETAIL and some Undercarriage work...

Here is my process for my wheels...

Wash with Chrome Wheel Cleaner (Meguiars)
Clay (just back/ inside)
Polish with Meguiars Hot Rims Mag and Aluminum polish (face and back/inside)
Polish with Meguiars Hot Rims Chrome Polish (face and back/inside)
Seal with Poorboys Wheel Sealant
Seal with some #21 (face and back/inside)

Should I stop there or throw a coat of Collinite 476 as a LSP for the wheels??

It usually takes me less than 5 minutes if it's THAT bad.

If I may...

Start with your plan. Remember, least aggressive first...

Sorry about not chiming back in later in the thread -- I kind of missed it.

I am at school till this weekend... I have some Eagle One Never Dull Wadding Polish... I washed my truck yesterday...

is Never Dull safe for my wheels? or is it not good on chrome? I just want a reason to be outside cause its so nice haha...

I figured this would tide me over till i can really get in there this weekend with all my goodys i ordered. I would just do the Never Dull followed by some Quick Detailer...

Ill take some pics...

I only got two of my wheels done... But the neverdull sure made the faces shine!!! And I tried a little on the inner lip, where all the specks are, and in the small spot I tried it it seemed to take the specks off!!! So the polishes I got should def get that **** off! O ya!
