    To anybody with wire wheels, Allbrite Wire Wheel Acid works pretty good and will make them shine. If really bad might take a few cleans. Once the wheels are cleaned up, the acid makes the chrome really sparkle. I've had some pretty bad looking Dayton's look great again. Once the rust gets really bad, there isn't much hope though other than painting the wheels.

      @@dionthomas2969 @Justin De'Anthony Honestly, I'd suggest messaging Dayton Wire Wheels on FB or something and see what they recommend for cleaning gold rims. I don't remember these comments or I would have replied sooner than a year. I feel like the Allbrite acid would be okay if used a few times a year, but would be cautious using it regularly without asking the companies if it is safe. I've sprayed the Allbrite on some gold Dayton's I was trying to get rust off of, but the previous owner painted over the gold, so it was already trashed and I was even using paint stripped on them, that said, I don't recall it damaging the gold that still looked okay, but again, the gold was already pretty faded / scratched up. Otherwise the Allbrite eats the brake dust / grime fairly well. Using brushes and rags on the gold is usually a no no as it will scratch / fade easily. Good luck with it, love the gold wires.

    Try mixing baking soda/ lemon juice /water, or limeaway, both work real well on rust removal, if you can get into water use electrolysis, even a tank, fill up with water ,, negative terminal on tank, positive terminal on sacrificial metal inside tank- don't touch tank, connect battery. Lotsa vids on this. Stuff.

    Great video bro... I see your using bar keepers friend... that stuff works great because the main ingredient is oxalic acid ....you can buy it raw on Amazon that works the best....get a big plastic tub put the rims in them mix the oxalic acid with water let them sit overnight scrub a dub dub and it's good as new!!

    Nice. I just bought 2 sets of wire wheels 17s and 13s for $200 and they had rust bad and I clean the 13s with SOS pad and it came out fine but still some rust on a few spokes. I only used SOS pad once on the wheels that I try to get the rust off. Then using wire wheels solutions to take the rust off.
