Polished Wheel Cleaning? Alright i got a cheap set of polished aluminum eagle alloys... and the previous owner is one of my best friends and he has a 98 t/a and he got some AR rebels... so i now have his old polished wheels
the only problem (even though its a big problem) is that he isnt too smart with cleaning his car and thought the whole time he had these that bleach white was a wheel and tire cleaner
ive already tried polishing these, but that was when they were on the car and i didnt have enough time to scrub for hours, but what can i use to get all of the haze and streaks that look like water marks out of the finish?
is there any kind of acid or stripper i can run on these to get them to shine up?
thanks in advance

Hard to tell the condition with out pictures. But your best bet would be going to a store like harbor freight or northern tool(dont know what you have up north). And picking up a pneumatic polisher. The high speed with any wheel polish should help alot. Such as this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=95030 Good luck.
