Clear coated wheels
Does anyone have foggy or crusty looking clear coat on their factory aluminum wheels?
Mine was stating to look like crap on my dually, so I talked to my polishing guy that does my Pete and he told me to get some Permatex gasket remover(in a spray can) spray it on, let stand for 10 mins hose off with water.
I had to do it twice to get it all off. I did all 4 wheels with 1 1/2 cans.
Now my polish guy said he can cut them with 600 grit sandpaper and polish them out.
So if your wheels look like mine did get some gasket remover.

I wouldnt waste your time or money, I was very pleased with the results. you dont have to scrub or nothing. The best part was it gave me a reason so sit on a lawn chair pop a top and watch it work (garden hose in on hand Miller Lite in the other hand). I did one wheel at a time. 1 1/2 cans of remover 6 pack of lite

As for that orange clean keeps the corrosion any for a long time. I just use it when I wash my truck.
I get my wheel on my Peterbilt done once every 2 years, and have orange cleaner spayed on at the blue beacon once a week when they wash my truck.

Might be a supporter thing. Could you ask you guy a question for me? One of my front rims the po somehow stripped the clear coat off of it and I have used everything I could think of to try and get the shine back. I even bought some snake oil that some guy was selling at Carisle. it worked ok on some spots and now it looks worse than ever.
