Hello all. I have a set of 17" AFS ZR1 style wheels for my '87. They are the polished aluminum and they are starting to get cloudy. I was told when I first got them to use a carnuba wax on them to protect them. However, I sometimes wonder if that's what's causing the haze I see. They used to look like chrome - now not so much.
I see a lot of wheel cleaners out there. I've heard that I should be really careful on bare polished aluminum. Does anyone have any ideas what I can use to clean these and get the shine back?
I saw that in the store, but was leery. I guess I don't trust things unless I hear someone else had good results. Is it worth getting a polishing ball thingie for my drill to do this? Or just a soft cotton cloth and some elbow grease?
I want good results, but I'm probably not willing to spend 30 minutes per wheel either.
WENOL is the polish that we got at all of the ISCA World of Wheels shows. My dad had a Cobra with a polished stainless steel frame. WENOL works well and will produce a mirror finish with very little product used.
Wenol is a great polish, and the mothers is a very good polish as well.......My younger brother had a 95 Mustang GT with the 18" Cobra R wheels and he used Mothers on them and they always looked like brand new....he did eventually get one of those power balls didn't really do a better job but it was a faster job
at any truck stop there is a wax called blue magic I use it on my harley makes the aluminum look like chrome. Semper Fi
