Even though they're just light scratches?

Wish I could find spray around here. Can only find brush

They're polished aluminum forged alloys


BTW, the scratches aren't as bad as they look. Camera was about 8 inches from the wheel. You have to be right next to the wheel and looking straight at it to see them. Any farther and you don't

It does hence me trying to get them out





What about wet sanding them?
And I'm confused as to what to use on them. Owners manual says don't use metal polish but the wheels supposedly aren't clear coated. So should I use metal polish or not?

[AWE Daniel]

No do not wet sand them

Metal polish won't do much. When I worked at Lexus in the body shop the head painted tried everything to clean up his polished aluminium SRT-10 wheels he got for his Ram and nothing shined them/removed some VERY light scratches. Your just going to have to live with the scratches or plasti-dip them.

Ok need more suggestions for the new truck. It has the non chrome clad 20s, they're the polished face/painted ones. So far just using a magic eraser to get the brake dust off and then a microfiber towel to get anything that remains and to dry them off. But want an actual product to use. Any suggestions?

I clean mine with the Jax Wax Wash N Wax...keeps them looking nice!

I got a gallon of the brown wheel cleaner jax wax is selling now, it seems to work the same as all the other stuff but it is priced much better and since you cut it in half with water it'll last me a long time. I think the gallon size was around 20-25$ can't remember exactly
