Scabby Alloys

Post by tonytech »

Before I bought my bus it had been standing for quite a while so there is a scabby patch on each alloy. I cant afford to get them skimmed so are there any tips for cleaning them up?

get sand paper rub down each wheel

get silver spray or similar colour to van

spray wheels

get laquer give two to three coats

then polish wheels when dry to smooth surface otherwise dirt will easily stick to them

i did this to my BMW alloys came out as new :D
