Rims on cars and trucks are normally affected by road debris, harsh weather conditions and in addition to that there is also the exposure to UV waves. It is very important to constantly clean and restore the finish of the rims to prevent them from any deterioration. Stainless steel is a product of steel and chromium combined. The process of restoring stainless-steel rims is the same as that of restoring aluminum or painted rims, however, an extra care is required to ensure that the finish is not damaged. Restoring stainless wheel rims doesn’t have to be rocket science as is perceived by many, provided that one has the basic tools required for this process. This is a procedure that can be carried out with your local area mechanic. Below is a list of things you need to keep in mind for an effective wheel restoration. • The first step is to add degreasing cleaner and water to a bucket for every product instruction. Scrub using brush dipped in the solution in order to remove oxidation, dirt, debris and grime from the rims. Finally rinse the rims with a hose pipe, and dry with towels. • Sand the wheel rims with 220-grit sandpaper in order to remove big scratches. Continue sanding until its smooth to touch. You should then follow it up with 320-grit sandpaper to remove all the little marks and scratches which resulted from the 220-grit sandpaper. • At this stage you will need to apply metal polish to the wheel rims according to the product instructions. Then give the polish time to sit on the wheel rims for the required length of time so that they properly dry up and stick on the rims to avoid peeling off. • Finally what you need to do in this last stage for a complete finish and for excellent results is to buff the rims using a soft polishing cloth until the natural shine is completely restored. Wash the wheel rims and dry with the soft towels or air-drying. If you follow this simple steps for your wheels restoration you will sure get the result you expect for perfect stunning wheels rims, that will not only improve the general outlook of your car, but also improve their durability and in turn a longer service life. If you don’t understand the jargon on the user’s manual let your local mechanic do it for you, for the best experience. Mayer is an expert writer with keen interest on exhaust systems and motors.
