I’ve got a set of old aluminum bullet hole rims. They have been sitting for years under an old truck. They are in good physical shape but have some stains and kinda dull. Before I go downtown and rent some rimz I figured I’d ask if anyone had any magic tricks to cleaning these up? I’ve used some turtle wax rubbing compound and my air grinder with a buffer attachment. But it’s not very abrasive and really hasn’t done much to improve the looks.
