alum wheel polish
I think I made a big mistake and used a metal polish for my wheels. They now have sort of a haze on them. I think they must have clear coat on them that did not react well with the polish. what can I do to polish them back to shinny clear?

what I did was get some paint stripper from the Napa store and took off the clear coat, they are shiny-er than ever.

Simple to do sprayed on the remover and let it sit for a few minutes then sprayed it off with a strong stream of water. Hope this helps
