1980 Aluminum Wheel Distortion

Holiday Cheer and Greetings to All.....

My '80 has wheels that have an "unpolished" look. Almost like very fine scratches like something steel wool may cause. I haven't tried anything beyond soap and water yet. I'd love a little direction from anyone with an idea. I really enjoy this forum and hope I'm able to contribute more to it in the near future. Thanks in advance.........Andrew

Andrew, welcome to the C3VR. I put a set of 1982 alloys on my CE and they were as you described yours as looking. If you need advice on how to make them look like chrome, shoot me an email. It would take too long to post it here. Mine look like chrome now, and I get compliments everywhere I show the car.

Chris: I am in the process of polishing my alloys as well....81 versions that were clear coated in the factory, but look like hell now.....after I strip teh clear coat off, I need to do something to bring them back to where they should look.....so would appreciate a copy of your note to the others, thanks a ton.......greydbj

Seems like a common question. I could use your recipe for hot wheels also. Thanks.

Hi guys. Sorry, I've been away from the forum for a while. For those of you that asked for my "secret", I will send out an email to all of you along with pics. Maybe I will put something in the "Tips & Tricks"section?
For those of you that asked, you have mail. Let me know if it dodn't come through
