rim cleaning??
« on: March 21, 2008, 05:59:32 PM »
Would using a rubbing compound on my rims hurt them at all? I can't seem to get the silver part clean and I have tried just about everything else?

I actually had to sand off all the clear coat and then used metal polish after that. It doesnt look to bad definintly better then that brownish tint from the clear.
