92es300_96es300
Alright I have 17" aftermarket wheels on my 92 es300 and the harsh MN winter has kind of done them in, my question is is there anything I can do to clean them up, any products out there? They are really bad I tried just scrubbing the dirt off, but there's still a stain it may be corrosion not sure.

So does anyone know of any products out there that can really clean these wheels up or have I waited too long and they are permanently damaged?

Thanks in advance,

I successfully removed a large amount of surface corrosion and dirt from my LS400's chrome exhaust tips with "Soft Scrub" household cleaner. I suspect it would probably work well to remove the stains you are describing.

Alright thanks I'll give that a try.

Also if anyone else has any other techniques or products that they have used I would love to hear some other input, I like these wheels and I hope I can get them looking better for the summer months.

Thanks

Got some pics so I can see what we're talking about? Corrosion can't really be cleaned off. Are they painted rims now? Polished, Chrome?
