[RangerJ]

Hey folks I need advice Please,I have a 1989 Ranger 4x4 with factory aluminum wheels that have streaks in therm from some CLR I sprayed on them. Does anyone have any tips for cleaning them up streak free? Thanks.

Miguiers wonder ball + polish.

Don't CLR aluminum rims.

That is my advice.

If you read the bottle of CLR it states not to use it on aluminum.

Mine look good to me. But it's dark out and I don't have a light.

Factory aluminum wheels are clear coated. Don't try metal polish, strip, prep and re-coat or strip and polish.
