Aluminum mags

[adkmach1]

I have a set of aluminum mags that's 40 years old. Could you recommend a good cleaner to take of oxidation and corrosion off? thank you for your help.

My dad told me of an old home remedy of taking a few paper towels, soaking them in Cola and placing them on corroded wheels, bumpers, rocker panels, etc. I guess after letting it sit for a little you would just wash off any residue.

It sounds crazy, but my dad comes from the old school where everything sounds crazy but works incredibly well.

I polished Al and its a pain just keeping them clean. How bad are they and how nice do you want them to be?

Neverdull, it is a wadding that comes in a small can, advance has it. I have never used a better metal cleaner in my life.

Some products like never dull work very well. If they are in real bad shape steel wool or a wet sand, and black, then white rouge polishing compound will polish them up very well. I have made Al look like Chrome with enough time. Afterwards you need a product that seals the surface, products like zoop seal, britemax metal polish and sheen geinie all will protect "seal" the surface. I dont know if never dull will seal, but it does work well.

Here is what I did to mine, I wish I could find a before picture. They were awful but I got them for ten bucks.

I sanded them with steel wool then wet sanded with different grits.

then I used rogue black, then white from harbor freight.

then I powdercoated them!
