Re: rust on whells

Chrome or aluminum wheel pollish?
Go to your local zone or orielys & read the bottles of Mothers & Meguires, see if it will remove light surface rust.
You may need to get some fine sandpaper if its pitting to remove the rust.
IDK how fine.
Just a thought...

I thought I needed to clean my glasses but no those pictures are making me nauseated when I try to focus on them. LOL.

Re: rust on whells

Try naval jelly, the pink stuff, for removing light rust on chrome, then wax your wheels to keep it from happening again.
