I've got an older set of similar corvette wheels that appear to have some kind of clear coat flaking off and aluminum surface oxidizing in patches ,and like most of us I,m not rolling in spare cash, so I have a good Idea as to whats going to be required,and its mostly a good deal of elbow grease, time and polishing compound, as a result of allowing the old wheels on my corvette to go un-cared for for several years,on my 1985 corvette.
now Im sure many of you have cleaned up some rather disgusting, old greasy or oxidized wheels some required polishing abrasives and hours or work so Id like you to post what you did what worked and what tools you used, and especially the mistakes you made along the way and ideally with pictures, if you can!

when I mentioned this to my older son, he suggested I buy a few of these and use my drill....that type of idea, stated with a strait face,.....thats one in a very long list of reasons I never let him work on my car!, while it might work, I,m 100% sure he would jump into it with out a seconds testing and just go, OOOPS if it burned a groove in the surfaces
I had to grin when I saw this picture and thought of my wifes potential reaction
