Help With Mag Wheels
OK Guy's, I bought a Jeep Cherokee last weekend to up-date my D/D.
The pic below shows the wheels, ALL the wholes were black with brake dust build-up. I bought this acid type cleaner that stated "SAFE" for coated wheels but to try in a non seen area. I took one wheel off and sprayed a small area on the back and it didn't turn to a white haze. I sprayed the front side and another wheel on the truck then waited the one minute then hosed them off. Now I have white hazed wheels  Question; Is there anything on the market to remove the haze ? I spent 2 hrs. with a buffing wheel in my drill with light rubbing compound then followed with Eagle 1 and Mother's wheel polish to no avail. I'm about ready to bust out my sand blaster and blast the damn things or would household paint remover take the coating off ? They looked like crap but the dust is gone and still looks like crap so will removing the coating put me in the third phase of crap ? Sorry for the long thread, Just wanted to lay all the facts out.  Thanks for any replies !
