Here's my factory aluminum wheels cleaned up...

We have the fix for that!!!

 

i knew someone would come up with something.... lol

 

They look great. I have a set of non factory slots and would love for them to look that good!! I used never dull and elbo grease, what did you use? Thanks

 

best looking Maverick wheels available!

 

Mothers aluminum and mag polish.... and a buffing wheel on the end of my 18v drill. with the cutting, polishing and buffing, i spent the better part of 7 hours on them but hey... they look great. thanks guys!

 

Real Fun!

And if you drive it often, particularly in the elements, or wash it often, you will have to maintain them or go through that 7 hr ritual often.

I parked mine back in the 80's in favor of Chrome. Windex and wax-2 minutes per wheel!

I like mine, but I don't drive it often.

Good job and good score!

 

Slotted Mags on Dodge

WOW! those look great. You will all probably hate me, but I have the same factory Ford slotted mags on my 69 Dodge. I bought them from a buddy whose dad bought them back in the 70s. He had the machined to fit Dodge hubs. I guess I have more polishing to do! haha. Does anyone know if the emblems come out of the inside of the center caps? I don't want the Mercury ones in there, and I need to replace the cracked plastic. Any ideas?

 

Anything will come out with a hammer!!

They really are not made to come out. You can buy repops of the complete cap from several Mustang places. Of course, they will have Mustang emblems on them. You can also just cover up the center with a wheel center decal.

 

Those look great

 

That's kind of depressing to hear. I was going to start looking to replace my center cap emblems on my factory slot mags. I even have the machine for making new caps in crystal instead of plastic. But if they don't come out that's gonna make it tough.
