I pulled my 22s outta the shed the other day to clean them up and try to sell them, but theres some nasty "shit" on em. it looks like mold or somethin, but its not. its hard white clusters. its on all four wheels. soap and water didnt work. i bought some eagle one polish = negative. idk wat to do. any ideas? anything stronger to put on it?

What type of rims are they? chrome, polished or what?

 

[layed 05]

[08Chevy]

Do you think you can snap some pictures of the problem areas and post em up.

Sounds like pitting. That hard white shit is oxidized aluminium extruding through pinholes in the chrome :imo

You'll have to polish the shit out of them.

My XDs are doing that already and they are only 6 months old

 

[a_guerrajr]

yea could be pitting...chrome sucks

Fine steel wool and some type of chrome polish to use as lubricant, last measure.

Yah, sounds like oxidization to me. That shit sucks. I never got my rims back to the way they were after that happened to me. Having said that they weren't in amazing shape to start so that may have been part of the problem too.

Looks like pitting to me. I don't really know what to do about that. Looks pretty bad.

If chrome polish wont do anything, I would try some 0000 steel wool. Make sure to keep it lubed with soapy water or glass cleaner and dont push down real hard. I got bedliner overspray off of my wheels with this method and it didnt scratch the finish. Seal them up afterwards with some wheel sealant or wax if you are going to sell them.

 

[layed 05]

would the eagle one wax i have work to seal em up?
