Wheel rims
 
Can anyone recommend a good wheel rim cleaner/polish for my 86 930?

Could you be a bit more vague?

If they are the wheels it was born with.........No polish.

It's a bone stock original triple black 86 930t with Fiske wheels. The rims are badly stained because my mech had some local car wash morons hand wash it and it looks like they used battery acid to wash the rims, not to mention they removed all the wax base. I'm not that knowledgeable with this stuff so pardon my ignorance and vagueness

We need to know what finish is on the Fikse'

I like this and even blue magic for polished. I'd make your mechanic do it though.

They likely used wheel cleaner on the wheels. If your wheels were anodized then the wheel cleaner has etched the finish. Please send pictures of the wheels and the serial number if you have it available.

You can try Wd-40 on the outerpart it will get rid of the stains.You have to do this every time u wash the car it is not a permenant solution.LMK if this works for u....

Thanks to all you guys for your advice. I'll try the semichrome polish. He's a great mech but I climbed up his ass for that one. Some times they shouldn't go the extra mile. I still don't know how to upload pictures.

If they are anodized simichrome will not work. If they are try the wd-40 it works.
