what I think are stock rims

JASonic · April 12th, 2007, 08:06 PM

I have what I think is a stock alloy wheel on my 04 V-6. There are tiny scratches beginning to become visible. Is there a specific polish/cleaner or process that someone could recommend to get these things looking like mirrors the way they used to?

I'd get different rims but don't have the money right now. Not only that , there not too bad yet. I figured if someone has a strong opinion about something that works, I could use it to prevent it from getting worse and maybe even improve it. I bought the car with 6k miles on it a year ago. Any damage is my fault. I just know there is something out that can restore them a bit and protect them a little better. I tried the Mothers stuff but I think it was the wrong product. It said on the bottle that if it did'nt turn "black" when you used it, STOP using it becuase its the wrong kind of wheel or something. Ever since then, I've been hesitant to use anything but soap and water.

know how that is but quick question is it like big scratches and stuff or little ones cuz u know it might be as noticable to everyone else as it is u just opinion but neway i would try to ask around to find the right stuff this time

ByPopularDemand · April 12th, 2007, 08:29 PM

Soap and water works for me

JASonic · April 12th, 2007, 08:37 PM

polishing compound??? a buffer???

GreenFaleen · April 12th, 2007, 09:01 PM

armor all. put a very thin coat on them they will look new.

MUS-TAKE · April 12th, 2007, 10:39 PM

i would try turtle wax chrome polish. it comes in a white bottle with a red top. that stuff works wonders.

Onemanzu · April 13th, 2007, 12:21 AM

their are some places that will refinish rims for about 40 bucks a pop... i know that i need to have two of mine done just cuz one has lost its shine and the other has a deep scratch in it...

check with detailing places... and people of that nature and see if they know any one that can do that

Texan_Stud · April 13th, 2007, 12:25 AM

rims are just an attention getting.. besides you need aftermarket rims to get the fatties out back =]

Onemanzu · April 13th, 2007, 12:27 AM
