Wheel Polishing

[John Suter]

The pro's often use an acid wash, but care must be
taken as, while it easily removes the oxidation, it
can also eat into the permanent metal finish.

Mother's alum/metal polish, Busch (or is it Bush)
polish etc. (NAPA and other setllers have good
selection) work well but require elbow grease; your
elbow or your drill equipped with a
polishing/burnishing, bit-like tool(s) (advertised in
FMCA magazine). After the desired shine is reached,
preservation can be enhanced by wiping with
cornstarch, or rag slightly dampened with diesel fuel,
or wax polish.

One thing for sure; after you complete 4 or 6
wheels, $10 or $15 each will not appear as outrageous
as it might before you start the project.
