I used Simichrome metal polish on a set of 30 year old ET Mags. While they still look very old school, now at least they have a shine to them.
I've used Simichrome on other aluminum and with a little elbow grease, a nice shine comes through.

Thanks guys. My son used to work at the local Harley dealership and they sold a ton of Simichrome. I've also heard from some others on this forum about it. I was just very impressed with the product and would recommend that others try it. I paid $8.00 for a small tube and that was plenty to do all the wheels with plenty left over.
By the way, did you guys notice I'm running good old fashioned "belted" tires??? No radials for this boy! Got some nice 70's on the front and 60's on the back. Try driving this puppy in the rain and you'll find yourself gripping that fishtailing wheel like crazy 8) . Will have to upgrade down the road. Hey Christmas isn't that far off.....hope someone is listening..
