  • Slight scratches in chrome rims

    I have a set of weld racing wheels. They are on a drag car and have screws through them locking the tires, the poor mans beadlocks. Anyway, there are some fine scratches on them, they are 15" wide so there is alot of flat area on them. Will chrome polish take some of these out or is there a different product out there made just for this? I don't need them to be perfect because it is a drag car but want to keep them as nice as possible.

    Are you positive they are chrome ?

    Most Weld Wheels are polished aluminum ?

    Can you please confirm

      I am sorry, you are 100% right. They are the alumnastars so yea, most likely higly polished alum. Long winter, just getting into the car again!! So just re-phrase that to aluminum rims. Thanks!

        No worries at all, just wanted to make sure you got the right info to help you out!

        Since they are polished aluminum, you can use our Mag & Aluminum Polish by hand.

        or

        We also offer a great new Wheel Polishing Kit.

        The kit sounds like it may be the way to go for you !

          I dont think you will get too far with the scratches, real fine ones maybe. But can shine them up well and not be noticed as much.

            I think I will give the wheel polishing kit a shot. Thanks for the quick reply.

              I figured that I can't help the deeper ones, which are mainly on the edges, but the inside ones are lighter so hopefully I can get some out and like you said at least get a nice shine to minimize them. Thanks

                The wheel polishing kit works great! I got it at WalMart for about $23...
                I have been using to bring back some badly oxidized aluminum wheels and it does a great job!
