Polished wheels stains
Hi I have drag dr54 all polished from factory but they have like white stains on them and some corrosion kinda. I tried mothers to get it off but got no results. What can I do to remove this and make they shine again?
More the likely the reason they aren't polishing with the mothers is the wheels are clear coated. You can use airplane paint stripper to remove the clear. Then use the mothers polish.
They are either clear coated or have an apply once every 3 months type of product on them to seal them. Pick a spot on the wheel and go at it with some mothers polish. If the polish turns black, there's no coating on the wheel, if it doesn't turn black, the wheels have a seal coat on them which will need to be stripped off. After you strip the seal coat off you can re-polish the wheels to your satisfaction and then have them clear coated. Just make sure an adhesion promoter is put down before the clear otherwise you will have problems with the clear coming off. We use about 4 different compounds and an equal amount of pneumatic buffers when we re-polish a set of wheels just because it speeds up the process. If you're going to DIY, I'd recommend 3m 39060 followed by mag polish followed by 3m 39062. You can do it by hand but air polishers would make your life easier.
