Try the obvious (wheel cleaner) Posted by turrbo [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Rust on 9000 Aero wheels, Hdhntr23, Sun, 1 Oct 2006 11:29:28 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If that doesn't work you might be able to get the rust off with a wire brush. But be careful, that could also scratch and/or remove your clearcoat or paint.
If that doesn't work, try some polish or finish restorer make to get rid of oxidation on paint.
If not, you'll probably need to sand them and respray the clearcoat. Or if it's in really deep, you could have to refinish the wheel entirely. Look for a post by me further down that explains how to refinish a wheel.
I had rust on my front wheels (don't know if it was from the brakes or not) and it would only come off once I sanded down to bare alloy. My intent was to refinish the wheels anyway so I didn't care, but it was definitely in there deep.
