Alcoa wheel polishing

[aTX427]

What is the best way to polish the wheels back to new?

Go to a parts store and get a mothers powerball and some aluminum polish. Put the mothers on the wheel and then take the powerball and polish it till it turns black. Take another cloth and wipe it off and they will look like new.

Check out Gords polish on youtube. He DOES NOT fudge the ability of his products even a hair. His stuff is great.


Back to your wheels, they are more than likely Durabrite coated unless they've been acid washed. If they're coated with Durabrite then all you are doing and going to be able to do is simply clean them unless you strip them down with acid. If you decide to strip them then I would have the tires "de-mounted". It's a whole lot of work but worth it when it's done. Try Gords stuff out, I think y ou'll be impresses! And.......... no I'm not him nor am I getting any kickbacks!

little late on this one for you but ill put in my 2 cents anyway. i dont know if your located near any big truck parts stores. i live near tristate diesel and they have this aluminum polish called zephyr pro. i got a bottle of that when i first got my truck hoping it would bring out a little bit of shine since the wheels were so far gone. i put quite a bit of time polishing each wheel with a rag and elbow grease and i ended up getting them to shine like chrome.
