I have just recently decided to polish my aluminum formula wheels off of my 89 bird. i had no idea it was this much of a pain in the ***. does any1 know a better way to get the old finish off other then a wire wheel on a drill. also whats an easy way to polish them. it took me 2 days and i have 75% of one wheel done. any other alternatives that woudl look nice? any pics? thanks

 

I keep hearing about air craft stripper--try that! Think you can get it from the parts store.

 

Hey man, your right around the corner... Im in Cherry Hill! Anyway, go to the pep boys on Rt. 130 which should be right near your house, and get a can of aircraft stripper. Youll have all 4 done within 2 hours. Just paint the stuff on, let it sit about an hour or more, swirling the stripper around every 25 mins or so. Then, hose it off, and polish with some good ol' Mothers. If there are scratches, youll have to wet sand them prior to polishing.
Good luck!
