I thought these wheels were hopeless
I picked up a set of old and crusty 15x3.5 Cragar superlites (same as Weld draglites). They were very dull and had stains all over them. I thought for sure they were hopeless but after waxing them with Mothers Aluminum & Mag Polish they came out looking almost brand new. This stuff is the best $3.79 I've ever spent.....

This picture really shows no justice. This is after 2 coats. They look a little greasy because I didnt quite finish removing the polish... The more you coat these things the better they look.

I'll post pictures of them closer up later. They looked like CRAP had white spots all over them.

I actually like the white, frosted look on those wheels. I've got a pair of 15x7" centerlines like that, and I clean them with Eagle 1 Mag Wheel cleaner. It's very corrosive and leaves the wheel with a white, frosty look.
