Factory alloy wheels are "anodized"
To polish them properly you need to de-anodize them. Any local anodizing shop can do that for you. Otherwise you have to work hard to scrub or sand through the anodizing layer to get to the raw alloy to polish. Once the anodizing is off you should polish them to a mirror shine and then have them re-anodized. This will bring back the original satin-ish sheen but will help protect your wheels against the elements. After they have been anodized, the factory manual recommends petroleum jelly to help seal them. |
