Got some aluminum rims that need something

[PDoyle]

I`ve had these aluminum rims for around 20 years. I must have used some type of cleaner that it didn`t agree with at some point. Has anyone seen this peeling around the ring before and how can I get rid of this?

Original factory clear is toast. Remove this, polish with an aluminum polish and coat with a good paste wax,

Ok so it is a clear coat. Thanks much. How would you remove that?

I wet sanded mine. Just enough grit to remove the clearcoat. Then worked my way up in grit to polish.

0000 steel wool and Super Wrap spray them.

Thanks I might try some 1200 grit to Mothers aluminum polish.

I think the wrap is a great idea, thanks.

What is that, the Gen Z version of Plasti-Dip?
