How to clean rims when stuff just wont come off!
Wednesday, February 16, 2005 6:22 PM
I have cleaned my rims spotless and I still have a few patches of what kinda looks like oxidation on 1 rim. Is there something I can buy to take it off with??Like a spray or solvent?

The rims are less than a year old, so i think the oxidation is just from the brakes or brake dust getting stuck on there.

Help please!

It's oxidation from brake dust. Get Mothers or Eagle One Aluminum wheel polish and it will come right off I do this for people in the summer for $100 CAD. Nice side thing I got going.
