What can i use to clean rims. Im not just talking shine, to see a pic of what i mean, check out photos.yahoo.com/skilled_fifty_sixers under "the mower" and look at the pic of the rim and tire. Im not sure what to do to get rid of the corrosion stuff. Thanks ~peace~ Justin

If the wheels are still smooth and not pitted, you can put a little elbow grease into them and use this:

I used this on my wheels and was very pleased with the outcome. I have been using nevr-dull on lots of metal things over the years and it still amazes me.
Not a dealer nor do I own stock, just a satisfied customer.

thanks for the tip!!
My husband uses that stuff on his brass belt buckle. I'll have to try it on the bug. Thanks!
Also, that cola and foil thing works wonders on chrome bumpers!

Dunno, I suppose that's only for chrome.

AWESOME!! Thanks, the rear bumper has a bunch of surface rust.
how "like new" does that method make the chrome? It may just be the pictures but those shots seem to show some blemishes remaining.
Reason I ask is because I've used turtle wax chrome polish to do much the same thing, after much elbow grease the surface rust does indeed come off but little pinpricks of rust can still be seen, depending on how advanced the rust was.
just interested in knowing how the soda compares with the chrome polish.
If there is pitting, obviously you're not going to make the pits go away. It will make the rust inside the pits go away. It's actually quite a satisfying exercise. Like polishing silver or ironing. I haven't used the chrome polish before.

Oh if you're sad, and you're feeling blue, go out and buy a brand-new pair of shoes.
