A "How To" question II
[color=black][font='Times New Roman']About 3.5 years ago, I bought a new set of Buick style Ralley wheels (black and chrome) for my '71 Buick. The car has not been a daily driver, I exercise it at least 1-to-4 times per month (depending on the weather), except during Winter; it is garaged; my maint. regimen has included the use of Meguiar's products (such as Meguiar's "Nxt generation All Metal Polysh), and it has won trophies/awards at car shows; so of course I had thought the wheels were ok too, since they would be key to helping the car be such an award-winner. However, little "rust dots" have appeared on the outer half of the chrome on the wheel rims; not like "a coat of polka-dots", but "here & there" around the rims; and you almost have to sit down and look for them, but they are there, so they can be found. Therefore, I must ask how do I remove those "rust dots" from the chrome on those wheels, or is it already too late for anything short of a "professional"?

Re: A "How To" question II
i'm sure someone else will chime in,with different ideas maybe easyer or just better ,but the way i would go about removing the little dot rust spots is to get some 0000 steel wool and lightly rub over the spots.do them just like you are doing a test spot on your paint and rub lightly a couple times then check the spots.when they are gone, then clay and use some APC, wipe off and then put on some m21 to coat the metal or some nxt metal polish .''USE THE LEAST AGGRESSIVE PRODUCT TO GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT''

Re: A "How To" question II
0000 steel wool with a spray detailer as a lubricant. Believe me, it works. And no, it won't scratch the chrome. My mother had the same thing on her chrome wheels that were on her Camaro. She hit them up with the steel wool and couldn't believe the difference.A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
