Vinegar works a treat, i had these hubs soaking in vinegar for 4 days before i polished them...

Before..




After...




Not quite finished yet,

Vinegar does work, use white vinegar throw in a few odds and ends and after a few days the vinegar is brown...  :buck2:

Citric Acid also works well or so I'm told, great for bare aluminium as removes the oxidation build up really well  :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away
