Default Rims / Help !
I have the stock aluminum rims on my 78 that have not been cleaned since 79........
I need some kind of product that will EAT the grime in the slots and clean the hell out of the rims. I have tried the shelf polishing products and they have no effect.
Any "special rim sauce" you know that works REALLY well ?
Please advise and thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers

the powerball system with metal polish worked wonders on my aluminum rims. you stick the powerball (a foam ball) on the end of a power drill and polish the rims with the polish (crazy right?)
