I need help cleaning the Work Wheels(classics)
hello guys, I own a set of classic (11 yr old wheels) Work Equip first gens.
Inside of the wheel, there is brown build up and dirt,grease, rust color.
I know its not rust because it doesn't chip.
I was using mothers polish and it would clean it a bit but by the time im done w 3 wheels my hands would fall off.
any advice? I was thinking soaking w degreaser and using a rough steel wool or something. wire brush.. i
GUYS, pLeAsE hElP

Take it to a wheel repair shop and have it refinished. Or you could try taking the Mother's Powerball polisher to it with some polish.
