Bleach White on wheels

Roofer · July 15, 2001

I used Westleys yesterday to clean my tires and it oversprayed on my wheels. Now it won't come off!!! Man, am I getting tired of these wheels! Just wish I could get new AR's or something. They look real shiny and nice from a ways away, but up close they are horrible. Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to try anything to get them somewhat clean again.

Thanks,

Have you ever tried any of the Eagle One "Never Dull"? It's a "wadding" and works great for cleaning and polishing chrome and Aluminum!!!

Are your rims polished or clear coated. If they are clear coated then try simple green. I don't recommend neverdull on clear coated rims because it will eat the coating off. It will eat the the green stuff off brass like it is nothing after being out to sea.

Stepside is right about the clear-coated rims. If the wheels are cleared don't use never-dull, if they aren't then you'll be amazed at how easy they clean up!!!

My rims are polished. I will have to try the Never-dull stuff. Thnks for the help guys.

I picked my last "tin can" of never dull by Eagle One up at Walmart.

Let me know how you like it, because I was pretty amazed at the way it cleans Aluminum and Chrome...

Well, I tried the Never-dull with no results. This is really bugging me. It seemed to shine them about the same as other stuff I've tried, but nothing will get them clean. Maybe I just need new wheels AGAIN. Thanks for the help anyhow guys. Anything is worth a try.

I got a question on this subject. I notice that sometimes when I wash my truck and wheel's (stock clearcoat Silverado wheel's) I notice a haze appearance develops on the wheels. Even when I use only water to clean them I sometimes still notice this haze appearance. any idea's?

My guess is maybe that the wheels are hot. Those Silverado wheels shine up nice and easy though.

For polished non clear coated wheels try Autosol. Nothing works better. I had a set of Centerline billets that had been regularly winter driven in the salt, and Autosol shined them with hardly any work.

Where do you get this Autosol?

I buy it at all our local parts stores. Comes in a tube for about 12 bucks Canadian. If you can't find it, I'll try to get some more info as to who makes it. Let me know.

LOL! I like your attitude. I would get some new wheels, but I first have to get my ATV fixed. Then I'm sure I'll need some new household things, being I just moved to a house last Friday. Thanks for the blessing though, hehe.
