simple green on tires

[jojoman]

I was just wondering wat harm would it be to spray simple green on billet aluminum wheels i got some outlaw II

I would make sure the wheel is wet first, just to be safe. I have seen some cleaners dull out the billet if you spray it without it being wet. I use simple green on all my billet. I have never had a problem with it. I also re-polish the aluminum everytime after a wash.

You think it would take any like rust spots from them well they look like rust i know billet dont get rusty but these look like they have some rust spots some came off washing but others didnt

Just don't let it sit. I had that leave green streaks on my tires one time. It took a bunch of scrubbing with bleach white to get my tires black again.

It sounds like you need to sand/ buff them out. It can be done a number of ways. I've polished raw cylinders on my quads going through all grades of sand paper using wd40. You have to make sure you sand out the previous scratches. Starting with 220 and ending with 2000. It's a pain in the butt, but its cheaper than paying someone. My point is, depending how bad the rims are, you can work them back to brand new looking. If your rims aren't bad, you can start with a higher paper. Since your rims are already polished, you probably could start with 800 grit.

You could also use a hand grinder with buffing wheels. You can use the typical 3 steps of polishing compound. I usually finish with mothers, but it actually dull the aluminum if you buff them properly with the correct compounds.

use steel wool and wd-40 start at like 1 and work down to like 000 grit. then after that get some mothers wheel polish and polish by hand too me it always looks better.
