    What do you use to clean oxidation off aluminum wheels?

    I neglected my wheels and now I have to deal with the oxidation caused by the salt and grime on the face and barrels.

    I washed the wheels but this stuff just remains. I know I have to polish them by hand and with my Flitz buff ball... but any recommendations on a product to use to clean up the wheels some more before I hit it with the polish compounds?

    Was just going to suggest Adam's Metal Polish #1 and #2...stuff is awesome!!

    I also just bought the Mother's Power Cone and it really works well on wheels due to the cone shape. It can easily get in the tight corners and inside lip.
