How do I clean my Draglites?
I bought a set of used "Weld Draglites" on ebay and I received them and posted pictures on here and everything. Anyways they are really a lot more banged up then mentioned but in good condition none the less.
The Problem
The rims have little markings on them that are like stains from shipping and just need to be cleaned up all together.
Now what do I do to clean the outside of the wheels and get the residue that is like stuck on the wheels off? Also is there anyway to make them shine like before.. chrome polish didn't really work to well.. Are there any shops that specialize in this? Lastly... what can I use to clean the inside of the wheels that are extremely black from brake dust?
Thanks!

id imagine you could buff them with like a mothers powerball or any other good wax cloth that can be attached to a drill.

That is exactly what I did w/ mine. I used aluminum polish and hit them w/ the powerball. The results were amazing. Doesn't take to terribly long either.

I decided to go this route with the powerball and mother's aluminum polish and the results were amazing! I used Hot Shine to remove brake dust and all of the residue prior to applying the paste and using the powerball. I am so happy with the results!
