Where to get alcoas polished

[Scott & Heather]

Update, our rims needed some love...so we paid $320 to these peeps to sand and polish them. They also polished all the stainless hardware/door latches as well as the frame around my generator bay. Next year they said it would be much cheaper since the hard work restoring the finish is now done. I'll keep up with it using mothers. The wheels really need a professional refinisher to work on them off the coach to make them look like new again, but honestly from 4 feet away, they look amazing. And the new center caps are...quite shiny

Scott,I found some stuff at a truck stop that has really worked well for me.I am going to the bus in a little bit and will get the name of it for you,

When I was driving my truck, it had 4 fuel tanks (2-150gal Diesel fuel tanks, 1-75gal gasoline tank, 1-75gal water tank), 6 aluminum wheels with park ranger hats, 2 buddy boxes (one was the generator). Needless to say, was a weekend job to polish everything. Paying someone to do it was well worth it.
I had one friend that polished his fuel tanks so much, he had to replace them because they got too thin. I doubt you have to worry about that with aluminum wheels though-since they are so thick. Good Luck, TomC

Not a bad price being as they had to start with sanding.  That is why I told you to get a price before they start.  I treat myself to a wheel polish once a year, that way it doesn't cost as much.  I always use the shop across the street because I get the coach washed at the same time, but your people did a good job.  Shine always makes the coach look better.

Scott ; The name of the Polish I am using is Zephyr Wheel and Metal polish .I  buy it at a TA truck stop near where I live. I made a royal mess out of my wheels by using a wheel cleaner containing acid before they had gotten completely cooled down and it worked like a charm.It won't remove every imperfection but it will sure make em shine!!
