shit we used gas to clean anything in the army but i was joking about the rims it will eat the clear coat off. anything dull metal gas will clean perfectly lil bucket a tooth brush and nice gloves will work. on the rims try brasso its in the hardware store should get it right its used to polish silverware and faucets and shit. |

Which rims are you looking to shine? if they are aluminum them they can be polished. if they are infact chrome your going to have a tough time getting them looking good! |
