can you use the Brasso Aluminum cleaner on aluminum wheels? i have a set of mickey thompson classic II wheels and i want to polish them up. they have water spots that are almost impossible to clean. how can i shine them up to make them almost like chrome wheels? i heard brasso works great but then i heard it damages the wheels?
hello ,it says aluminum cleaner !!!
There are many products you can use to polish aluminum wheels, Brasso aluminum polish being one of them. It will take a TON of elbow grease and patience to get a really shiny surface, and it will only become chrome-like if the wheels' surface is already perfectly smooth. The commercially available polishes should remove water spots and will tidy up a surface that is polished already, but will not make a non-polished aluminum surface chrome-like. I've used Mother's and Auto-sol, both with good success. Again, it takes a LOT of work. Follow the instructions carefully. Once you get that shiny surface, it will take periodic regular polishing to maintain. If you are starting with a much more weathered surface, you'll need to go the sanding, wet-sanding, rubbing compound, jeweller's rouge, then metal polish route. A ton of work, but doable. Look up how to polish aluminum on Google.
