Cleaning my rims...

[MX3Gurl]

Hey gang, i'm a newbie to this forum, actually on any forum. just want to ask my first question. <P>i have a 95 MX-3 GS and for the life of me, i can't get rid of these black marks (debris) from my rims. i don't know what they are, but it seem to be quite a bit. <P>i searched the forum and only suggestion is to sand blast them. <P>just wondering if there's an alternative to get rid of these black markings on my baby.<P>Thanks

i start with a standard rim cleaning product from canadian tire and then move on to a metal polish called autosol. it works pretty good. they won't look like new but they will be clean.

if they are your stock rims use oven clean it works wonders........(DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANER ON AFTERMARKET WHEELS!!!!!!)
