Help needed - polishing wheels
« on: August 27, 2011, 03:09:33 pm »
Hey, my beloved was trying to help clean my car when she sprayed chrome wheel polish on to my alloy wheels. Suffice to say that they are now all cloudy and no amount of alloy polish will restore their shine.

Anyone got any ideas on how to restore them?

you could try aluminium cleaner or if cant get any of that try cutting compound...

You may need to wet rub them with 1200 & then polish them. Try a small area first & see how you go.

At least your wife was trying to help, even when they stuff up its best not to be too harsh, better them with you than against you.
