Re: Best cleaner Alumastar wheels?
I use Smithbrite. It comes in two different compounds, one is more aggressive than the other depending on how dirty they are.

Re: Best cleaner Alumastar wheels?
I use products from Mike at Metalwax. He has a Facebook page and demo videos on there and Youtube. Outstanding products that flat work!

Re: Best cleaner Alumastar wheels?
So if your polishing your wheels, means you found out what was wrong with your motor.

Re: Best cleaner Alumastar wheels?
I'm with Ed on this one. What do you use to CLEAN them? Everyone has their own favourite elixir to polish them and I have tried Autosol, Mothers and Alcoa and they all seem to be pretty much the same (lots of time and elbow grease). But what is best / easiest to use for regular wash up and clean aluminum wheels and trailer trim when giving it a bath? Doug

Re: Best cleaner Alumastar wheels?
I use Aluma-Kleen a product of Bio-Kleen available @ Redneck Trailer Supplies It removes oxidation, discoloration and stains. It is not a polish strickly a cleaner. You have to shine them up after the cleaning process. They also have a polish but we use Mothers
