ok i have stains i think or something i cant get them out i tryed using the mother mag and alum polish and it doesnt help even with a powerball so i was thinking of trying blackfire fine cut polish or blackfire heavy cut prepolish to try and get them out what do you all think should i try something else? btw some of the mark are water marks it just rained today after i cleaned them but it rained i whiped the marks off so most of it is permentant marks i cant get out here some pictures.

 

my polished alum rims are doing the same thing. i think its water starting to corrode the finish. i have been told to pick up a buffer to get them out or send them in to be reconditioned. dont have the time for one or the bucks for the other right now so im just putting up with it for a while. lol. sorry thats all i got for ya. ive tried the mothers too with the same results.

 

yea it sucks looking at it up close in the day =( but what should i try and buff them with i want to get them nice and shiny again im sealing them this time

any other suggestions i can do ?

 

how would i go about buffing the rims and if that dont work could i reconditioned the rims myself? how would i go about that i alway done everything myself from tearing a engine out to painting a car i just never done rim work so it never hurts to learn plus i got a little rash on one i wouldnt mind repairing if i could but i gotta know if i even could so help please=)

 

I've never used Mother's polish to compare. But I'm pretty sold on Flitz. I've used it on a lot of stuff, one being an old 70's Vette wheel, and it cut the corrosion and polished it to a chrome like shine.

 

I've used really fine steel wool on some polished metals rust and that's worked well while using soapy water. Not sure if it will work on aluminum though as I've never done that. I would do a patch test somewhere that's not easily seen if you give it a try. Is the back side of the rim polished and stained like that also? If so test it out there. Quality steel wool can be bought for cheap at a local hardware store.

Make sure you get the fine quality and not the coarse. It's kind of like a sand paper rating IIRC.
