What to use on aluminum Weld Wheels?

Mike SVOR · 07-31-2002

Hey all,
Just bought a set of Weld "Hole" rims with slicks. They're covered in sprinkler rust water stains. What should I use to polish them?
I've been using mothers and a rag.
Anything else??
Thanks,
Mike SVOR

Mike, when you say Mothers are you referring to Mothers metal polish. To remove the rust stains consider using a mild rubbing compound and then use the metal polish. The rubbing compound should be able to remove the rust stains.

Hope this is of some help.

Never dull works good on them..It's a polish.

Good suggestion John, I forgot about "Never Dull". Good product. That should work.

Thanks guys, I've tried never dull but it doesn't work like mothers. It just kinda gets the metal all oily looking and doesn't clean it. I wish I had a drill and a polishing bit!!!
Back to the mothers.....

Blue Magic is the #1 metal polish. You can find it at Auto zone and Pep boys. It work awsome. It's 3.99 at Auto zone and 4.99 and Peps. I use it on my polished intake and my polished radiator cover. The stuff is the best. Another good one if you can find it is White Diamond. Hard to find but is a great item. If you go to big truck shows like Big Rig shows you can find it. Those guys are always polishing there rigs.
