yellow can with lye.
20 minutes, 3-5 times depending upon how thick it is.
Use Borax afterwards to stop the aluminum from turning black.

OK, I'll be happy to provide my mailing address for checks. I can arrange for credit/debit cards too. Gold coins appreciated. I'll pay shipping on gold/platinum bars. Silver OK for cheapskates!

Won't you guys please help me? Please send all conrtibutions to the Pat Garvey Anti-Easy Off Fund. You can also contribute to the Pat Garvey Anti-Powder Coat Fund. Note that these are not tax-deductible contributions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

It's not easy to polish the Mahles. I tried. I don't think they are forged like the Fuchs.

I will paint the centers...it makes such a nice accent for the car, like red car on yellow centers....an polished lips a full polish looks a little to bling-ish for my liking

Mahles & Pedrinis are pressure cast and somewhat porous (rough surface).

Fuchs are forged and not as porous (smooth surface).

Al Reed can work wonders... I need to clean them up some now, but this was about 5 years ago. The pic of them on the car is just a week or two ago.
