Question about these wheels...

[therock0720]

Anything I can do to save them? I haven't gotten a chance to actually try cleaning them with some wheel cleaners as the vehicle isn't mine yet .

Improve, yes. Completely save them, very slim. I would imagine that most dirt should wash off and some claying may be needed.

I agree with Rider, it might be impossible to get them looking brand new but I think you can get them much cleaner.

Cool Wheels, Poorboys Spray and Rinse, and a Daytona Wheel Brush will help alot !!!

You could try Iron X by CarPro, works wonders on old brake dust buildup

Let us know what you end up using and post pics when done if you can...

:iagree:If that doesn't do it, try Meg's Wheel Brightner. Be careful with the Daytona brush as it will splatter. Meg's Wheel Brightner is an acid and I believe Poorboy's Spray and Rinse is also a mild acid. Protect your body and face when using acids.

Save them completely, no. Make them a lot cleaner, for sure.

Those wheels have a lot of scuffs: if I were you, I wouldn't use Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener (Rant I would never use it, anyhow, since the safety measures are not easily available for the weekend warrior...End rant) because there is a high potential of making things worse (the acid can corrode the bare metal).

You can save them. You would need to have a professional refinish them. The curb rash doesn't look terrible. That could be done easily by the right person. Ask around your area.

For now, clean them well and that will improve the look, that is until you look at it closer.
