Wheel Hazing

[ronin993]

H All,



I have a set of wheels that I need some help on.

The lip on the wheel is hazy, its a aluminum polished lip, the wheels face is chrome Im already cleaning that up with Gord's Polish.



The hazing is got me stumped. Any ideas guys?



Thanks in advance!!:work:

I can ad a pic later tonight but it's your basic haze on the lip, theres no clear coat on here.

Actually being that they are chrome, I would go with mothers chrome polish not alluminum.

Read his post again, the lip is polished aluminum not chrome.

Is it like this white colored stuff tat looks like you could wipe it off but you cant? Thats uncorrectable. But, it not, definitley try out the powerball mini.

As long as it is polished aluminum anything can be removed from it.

That "white colored stuff" if probably from using a wheel cleaner that was too strong for the aluminum. You will need to repolish it.



so like coupe sayed:

Won't that eat right through the clear coat on most modern rims?

What clear coat? He says his wheels are polished and chrome. He's trying to polish the uncoated lip.

Woops, misread that. Most polished aluminum wheels have some type of coat on them. At least the ones I have encountered.

I have never ever ever seen PA with any type of coating on them.

Neither have I-at least mine don't and polishing is never fun

Get a PB, that makes it fun and fast to do!

I would think you are talking about clear coated chrome and not aluminum



The ones you have encountered were they factory of aftermarket rims?

 

[SpoiledMan]

I have *never* encountered or heard of a CC chrome wheel. There are many examples of polished aluminum wheels that have clear on them.

factory GM chrome wheels arn't they cleared?

 

[SpoiledMan]

I know the polished ones are coated but not the chrome in my experience. Which of their wheels are factory chromed?
