Light pewter metallic- 2000 Camaro SS vert
Need some ideas....
The inner part of my 4 wheels on my SS are very dirty. I mean they have stuff baked on them, its nasty. I think I need some sort of wire wheel to remove the corrosion. Do you have any tips or tricks to clean this with? Thanks in advance!

I sand blasted our Suburban rims and painted them. Look like new!

In addition to sandblasting, I have used wire wheels, dryloc discs, and hand sanding. All depends on how bad it is and what you want to do. Wouldn't hurt to try a shot of oven cleaner on them to see what happens.

I used a wire wheel to the back part of one of my wheels and it cleaned up real nice.....but its not perfect by any means. I was thinking about applying Silver Plastidip to the area so it will give it a clean look. I took off the black plastidip so I am back to chrome now.

Anything to get them back to a uniform wheel color will look far better than the nasty baked on brake dust and road grime.
