Ron, not sure that ypu wanted t do this by your self or get some one to do it for you but ..........



call Holland Motor Coach and talk to the parts depat. and tell them you want the wheel cleaner that they use Holland was a lng time BB Dealer) I can nt remember the brand name but It works well. I use this and witha "Mothers" polishing Ball. I use two size ball polishers. one large ne for the rim portion and one small one for the lug nut area. I have the timing down to 15 minutes per wheel.



If your wheels are a mess I would suggest that you get a pro do to it and then follow up with your own work pro's get about $35.00 per wheel in Michigan it might be worth $200.00 for the first time.

Ron..When I got new tires for the coach, the tire Dealer had them done for about
$35 a wheel, and the wheels really needed it bad. The wheels did not have
tires mounted at the time, but when the wheels came back, they looked new.. So
check and see if any Truck Tire dealer in your area can help..

Wheel Polishing Service - Michael Bulriss - 02-02-2011 15:08

Most bigger truck stops have someone hanging around. Last time I had mine done was from a guy that approached me at a Flying J while I was fueling. I brushed him off, but he was hitting all the truckers up, so after I paid, I verified his price and his crew did a great job. I think McMahan said there was a similar guy at the Flying J in Waco.

O.K. Mike. I'm not going through Waco. I'll check with the Dallas Flying J or
maybe find someone while in the Houston area and the Lonestar Birds Rally.

Surely you do not have aluminum flaking off. If that is true, you need to get
new wheels. You might have wheels that had a protective lacquer coating and
that is what is flaking. If that is the case, the coating would have to be
completely removed to allow polishing.
