Owen Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I mean major cleaning, rust/oxidation etc. I have these wheels I bought used and am finally getting around again to "thinking about cleaning up the insides"? Also, what's a good clearcoat for wheels? Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Curious if it really works or not, but the commercials claim it does a great job on wheels. http://www.flitz.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Not trying to change the subject here Owen but why are you selling your drivetrain? By the way try this link for the wheels. http://www.zoops.com/zoopseal.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, by the way, I'm talking about the inside of the wheels. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huy350Z Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 What's up Owen, how are you my man? What kind of wheels do you have? Steel? Aluminum? This is what I did for my aluminum wheels: 1/Tape the lip of each wheel with heavy duty duct tape. 2/Take them to a media blasting place to have them blast all of the junks in the center and the back of the wheels. 3/Clean them up again with a steel pad and some laquer thinner. 4/Use Eagle1 aluminum wheel Etching solution (from Pep Boys) 5/Polish the lips of the wheels. 6/Tape the polished area and paint the wheels with Duplicolor Wheel paint (from AutoZone). 7/Put a layer or two of Duplicolor Wheel paint Clear coat (also from AutoZone). Good luck Owen, Huy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hey Huy, Thanks! I wanted to avoid blasting but I guess it would be easier than scrubbing with ultra strong chemicals. I don't know about the etching solution on the aluminum wheels though. A good clear is definitely in order after everything is done, I've also heard of using PAM or some sort of oily susbstance to prevent brake dust from embedding itself into the wheel again. I think I'll try the Flitz paste and orange ball as I need to do part of the face of the wheels as well. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
