evinX Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hey all, got some light corrosion on my alloys that look like squiggles, i rekon they could be polished out but i dont know what to use on them or the process to take. They are veilside andrews and think they are aluminium, also what could i use on polished lips to shine them up? as mine are in good nic and could just do with a clean/seal. thanks, Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-NA Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Should Hammerite 'em. They wouldn't corrode then! Lolz. Try meguiars metal polish to shine them up or autosol if you need something more abrasive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 sounds like water under the clear coat, just wet flat the clear coat away and polish the lips up by hand with autosol.... then either clearcoat again or just keep on top of them (thats what i do when my rims go like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L18msy Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 My wheels are in a bad way. No one can polish the up due to spokes sticking out. Im scared to give it ago myself so i think they will just be getting powdercoated for the show season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
