cleaning motomags

[lazychubs]

was the best way to clean these as spent 2 hrs on sun
and they look just as dirty as b4 lol
would wonder wheels work as they are alloy

[firebird4130]

I've cleaned some of these up before, went from looking like they'd been in a fire to sparkling new with autosol, used a couple of old t shirts as rags, and I'm not normaly one for polishing stuff 

[dordymush]

i know somebody who do a set with silver wheel spray and they come out mint.

i just use solvol and a rag,they are cast so the finish will not be that shiney anyway,this is how they should look, but i can guarantee you will get sore fingers

[meticulous]

try brasso, i did with these....

[lazychubs]

mine was almost nos like condition when i got em
but they looking a tad dirty give em a good polish sun but still look dirty
dont want em shiny just factory finish lol

Never done any myself but if they are alloy i would get them Glass bead blasted , dont confuse this with normal grit blasting which would leave a coarse finish, the glass particles are alot finer so leave a smoother finish.

In my car resto days i had a RS1600i rocker cover done and various other alloy parts and they came back like new  

Maybe speak to a metal finishers just to make sure they are suitable

heres a pict i took sat they look really clean but are very dull looking

More of a reason to go down the glass bead blast route, thats the finish you will get ie not polished etc.

cheers mate will aske me mate across the rd from work as they use one for cleaning gearboxes

Dunno if it would help but a really good scrub with washing up liquid might get them looking better. Any polish left in the rough bits will go black. I often clean up stuff thats been machined like this and it aleays look better afterwards.
