Alright, these aren't rims that I am detailing, but a friend of mine is. Well, it's his truck and he wants to clean up the rims. What in the world could I use on these? I have given him everything I had including a powerball to try to clean them up. You can notice a difference, but not a drastic one.

Looking for suggestion to get these cleaned up a bit.

what r they made from??? claying the wheel and maybe compounding it

[TexasTB]

he said aluminum. mag maybe?
not sure if claying will do. He said he took some 2000 grit to a small section to see if it would do anything....

Man, loooks like a dremel tool might be needed here!

Probably the only thing to do if they are uncoated aluminum is to take them off and have them professionally polished by someone that polishes aluminum.

He should see some difference after sanding them with 2000 grit then a compound to get the sanding out.

I've never used one, but would a power ball and some metal cleaner do the trick? That and throw in a few "hail mary's!!"

If not cleared coated wet sanding then polishing might be the only thing that will bring them back to life and get out the pitting. Definitely a lot of work.

Let us know if anything worked please! Poor rims!

you could try, if the 2000 grit does'nt work, some 000 steel wool with polish. i've used this method on centerline all aluminum rims and they cleaned up rather nice.
