  • Aluminum wheels with corrosion under wheel weights

    How can you remove the corrosion marks that are left after wheel weights are removed. The wheels are coated aluminum.

    How bad is the damage on your wheels? Any pic?

    If they are coated, you can treat like paint and wash, clay (old piece of clay), and use a paint cleaner.

      I've got a bad bit of aluminum corrosion under the clear from a wheel weight as well.
      They're Ford factory rims on a 2000 Explorer.



      Not really sure how to address it.
      I know the clear has to come off to remove the powdery white aluminum below.
      Just don't know if it would be worse to try and fix it or just leave it alone.

      I know there's no "fix" to make it look new.
      Just want to do what will be best for stopping it from getting worse.

      Thanks to all in advance.

      Another pic if it helps:


      Lug nut cover is next.
      I know it looks terrible... brake failure... it's a mess.
