PostHeaderIcon How do I polish out my aluminum rims after Bleach White accidentally got on them and left spots?

bulet70 asked:


I sprayed Bleach White on all four tires and to my horror once they were rinsed, white spots were all over my rims. I have tried Adam’s metal polish with some resolve as well as mothers power ball metal polish. I didn’t know if there was a product or “old wives tale”-trick out there that would do the job. Please help.

PostHeaderIcon What is a good method to remove break dust from aluminum alloy rims?

Robert M asked:


My car has a bunch of break dust built up on the rims and I can’t get it off with conventional soap and water. It’s only a problem visually, but I would like the rims to be clean. They are aluminum alloy. I don’t want to use a chemical that will damage the rim. Just wondering if anyone had success with a specific cleaning agent any help is appreciated.
