Rim cleanin OK guys, my rims are all cruddied up with some black road tar and stuff cause the lady who owned the car before me didnt quite take care of it. This stuff seems to be embedded into my polished aluminum rims. Mothers polish didnt get rid of it, and Id hate to fork out money for new rims. Any suggestions?

Try sanding them down with a high grit sand paper and then polish them with mothers. This should work, but take your time.

Re: Rim cleanin Simple green isn't acid based, so it shouldn't harm or "eat" into the rim. I'm just tring to give possible suggestions to get the stuff out without being expensive. Plus its kind of hard without being able to see it in person...
