what is the best way to remove oxidation from the aluminum wheels on an 08 Fatbob? Thanks for any help

 

On my FB I have used Meguairs Aluminum wheel cleaner, comes out clean and brings the shine back. Spray them down wipe them with a cloth if they are heavily coated in crude and spray on the cleaner for about 15 to 20 seconds and wash it off. I use it about once a month and now I never need to bend over and use a rag again, it is awesome!! No negative effects yet.

 

Those rims are a pain in the a$$ to keep clean. I use never dull it works pretty good but its alot of work maybe Ill try that Meguire's wheel cleaner.

 

chrome them

 

I have a Fat Bob and can tell you that those wheels suck *** big time. I'm getting rid of mine. I'm looking for a set of Fang wheels. Who ever thought of not clearing those wheels and leaving them raw should get hit repeatedly on the head with a frying pan .

 

I agree that they are a pain in the ***. I have tried everythig. The only polish that I have seen that works is FLITZ. It took all the black spots and oxidation off. AMAZING stuff

 

What is Flitz.

 

Google is amazing.


FLITZ

 

Lucy....Ha ha smarty, my post was premature, I accidentally hit the enter key instead of the tab key...on my phone ....what I wanted to say was...what is Flitz, isn't that the as seen on tv stuff that miraculously erases scratches from cars. I've never heard of the stuff until today so I was genuinely curious. and.....if so how many folks actually used the stuff

 

I sent mine out to be bead blasted and the flats mirror polished some years ago. I was advised to seal the rough cast surfaces so they would just suck up the grime again.

Primes and painted with Dulicolor wheel Paint.
