wheels are ugly

so my IROC's wheels are old and tarnished.
what, if anything should i use to clean them up?

they are the standard IROC wheels.
no color accents though.


(the car in my sig is photoshopped to have different wheels)

If they came from the factory with a clear coat on them, then you could always use some paint stripper to remove it. Leaves you with the bare metal which you could then polish up nicely.

so strip, polish, re-cover?

what should i use to polish them?
and how do i re-clear coat them

can i re clear-coat them?

After you strip the clear coat, just buy some metal/aluminum polish shine them up. I've always had great luck with Mother Mag & Aluminum Polish.

You can respray them with clear. Most people don't because it dulls polished finish. But If you leave them polished with no clear coat they will become a pain to keep clean. That's why I sold my C5 rims. I could never keep them looking good for more than a week. If you do get them resprayed with clear, I would suggest you take it to a paint shop to have done. Couldn't cost that much and the results would be alot better than that of a spray can job.

standard clear then?
sounds good

anyone?

Standard gloss clear should be fine. I don't think wheels get hot enough to go after high temp. You could also check Eastwood. They seem to have a coating for everything.
