How do you polish aluminum rims? The person who owned my Banshee sand blasted the gold off the rims and now they are kinda dull looking.

 

bcquads, many hardware stores carry aluminum(or should I say aluMINium?") polish. If no luck there, Chaparral, 800-841-2960 carries a product called "Never-Dull" that consists of chemically-impregnated cotton wadding that's supposed to work well on chrome, aluminum, or brass.It's $3.99 per can.You can do mine for the tip

you can use steel wool and get a great shine. just start w/ a coarse grade and work up to a fine grade. granted, this takes a lot of patience and time. but the results will suprise you.

I use jewlers rouge and a 4-6" pad on my drill. But if there are pits in the rim (from sandblasting them) I would sand them with 1500-2000 grit sand paper first. Its amazing what that stuff will do. Try jewlers rouge on your shifter, rear break, lots of stuff. It takes a while to get the paint off and polish but I love my cheap polished foot pegs
