aluminum wheel oxidation removal?
1 Attachment(s)
I have a set of original 15x7 aluminum wheels that I'm going to use on my next restoration. Any recommendations on removing the oxidation without polishing? I've tried Locktite aluminum jelly with no success. Hate to polish them & lose crisp definition. Picture is of the back rim of one wheel.

Consider trying this. It has great results on raw un-polished aluminum. Spray on, wait 15 seconds and rinse off. If the front sides are polished it will dull that and need to be polished back.

That has actually etched into the aluminum and there's no way you're going to remove that with a spray. IMO, the only way to have a nice machined surface again is to have it remachined.

Ditto.

What are these wheels off of? I had a set of turbine wheels machined and cleared and they turned out great. These wheels were worse than yours.

these wheels are so nice - this is the worst one. 15x7 and never messed with. Maybe I'll try fine steel wool?
|
That wheel looks pretty nice to me. I would leave it alone. If you decide to mess with it do as little as possible
|
If you don’t like the looks of the wheel I’ll take it off your hands. Ha
|
Ya thats not bad at all. I was thinking they would be worse.
