I just bought an 05 s2k with nice volks but unforutunetly it wasnt taken care of and there beyond dirty. There clouded and maybe have salt deep in the dish/lip area. Is there a way i can clean them myself without havin to sand them or resurface them? NO polishes work right now..

got pics?

after you wash and dry, can you feel the problem areas?

mrevilandy

i'll post pics later on today when i can. Its not so much a feel, its visual, washing, cleaning, hell simple green doesnt work, like i said its a cloudy stain.

Mr. wanabe,

I just gotta ask. Have you looked at this page that you referred mrevilandy to? I added a few things over the weekend. Feel free to delete or move anything that you do not think appropiate for this forum.

gay, i wont be able to take pictures today due to the sudden rain storm will try tomorrow.

Well finally caught a break in rain and was able to take some pics. Not that great but every flaw you see is AFTER i rinse, and polish with mothers.

Are those clearcoated or bare aluminum? One of the acid cleaners might work if they are bare aluminum. Be careful and follow instructions.

If they are clear coated, you could try a clearcoat polish. It would have kaolin (a very fine abrasive - the same stuff that is the abrasive in toothpaste) in it and might polish out the spots.

to be perfectly honest i have no idea. But i'll give them both a try , any idea what brand to use? i only have autozone n nappa around here so im limited, if they have nothing then i'll have to wait till next week then i'll have all of so cal. Recomendations plz!
