Re: Wheel Brightener | Types of wheels
As you can see, Wheel Brighter is very powerful (of course you are supposed to mix it with water 10:1 or 4:1), but it wasn't ideal for removing the rust out of the deep pits. Given time it probably would have. However like paint, you have to access the best approach to deal with your issue.
As you can see, I was fully able to restore the metal with polish alone. Once at this point a periodic cleaning with Wheel Brightener would likely be appropriate.
What type of metal was that? Also how did you go about polishing with the hot rims? The insides of my wheels were kinda nasty like the metal you were working. I ended up using steel wool, a sanding/flapper wheel and hot rims, then clear coating but the crust is coming back.
