Tarnish on truck rims

[armascott]

I’m just wondering if anyone knows of a good product or method to remove this tarnishing from the machined parts of these rims? I’m hoping to clean them up and use them again on my new truck.

Just about any kind of metal polish, a rag, and a bit of elbow grease.

I think the problem run deeper, corrosion has dug into the clear coat, since the coating is compromised id try a very fine steel wool or a extra fine scotch bright pad and rub oh so lightly.

I would armaguard them ( lol )

Seriously it looks florider says, clear has been eaten through, clean and regularly maintenance now

Id sell them and get new ones. New truck deserves new wheels. Jmo though.

Ok this is what I was thinking also, they got away from me this winter for sure. Have you tried using scotchbrite on machined rims before? I’m thinking I’m going to have to clear the rims after also.

Lol I kinda agree but I’m going to try and clean these up anyway, if they turn out good I’ll keep them if not they can stay on this truck.

You know what id do. Id use those for winter rims, and get some new ones for summer time.


Thats what i do. Run 2 sets.

Sand the aluminum to desired finish polish if wanted. Rattle can clear coat good as new

Common Man thats to much work

I guess if a $1000 saved is too much work for a few hrs work..

Lightly use an sos pad just on the aluminum. Be careful not to scratch black paint. Like others have mentioned it’ll come just needs some elbow grease

I’ve had good luck with Nevr Dull polish for work like this.

Once you restore them use wd to keep them that way in winter, works pretty slick…and who doesn’t love the smell of wd lol

First you need to figure out if the rims are coated or not. You can clean and polish bare raw aluminum, but coated Raw aluminum is a different beast to tackle.
To me In Those pics, they look coated, I could be mistaken.
If they are, nothing will help them instead of sand blasting them, and have if the whole rim powdercoated.
