Where to get alcoas polished

[Scott & Heather]

As we have traversed the country in our 102, I have been trying to find places that will polish our 24.5's for us and haven't been able to find any place specifically. We are in Atlanta and heading to Orlando at some point next week. Anyone have a recommendation?

Good place on the way in Wildwood FL.  Wildwood is the exit before the Florida turnpike.  Come off I75 to the west, about one block down on the North side is a truck wash.  I get my coach washed there and they acid the wheels to make it easer for the polishers.  When you come in the people that do the polishing are in the back right side of the lot.  See them before you get the coach washed.

Thanks Jack. I can't pressure wash the coach yet because the paint is still breathing and curing (no waxing either). So I would just have the rims etched and polished. They'll do rims that are pretty dirty too? A couple of mine have zero shine. They need some elbow grease.

A good paint job is like a fine wine-needs to breathe!

The people that do the wheels aren't the same as the wash.  They will do anything you want with the wheels.  My coach always needs washing at the same time that is why i have it done that way.

Make sure to get a price before they start.  Should be 80.00 to 100.00

Per wheel? And we are talking about the place called "a cut above" right?

Once you get the aluminum polished, put a sealer on. Granted it will make the shine a little duller, but the shine will last for months. I haven't polished my rims in years, yet they still have a shine to them (granted they should be now). Good Luck, TomC

No, for all of them.  They will look at your wheels and give you a price.  As many times as I have been there I don't know the name.  When you come off I75 they will be about 300 to 500 feet on the North side.  You will see the sign for the truck wash.  When you come in the drive keep going to the building in the back right side.  They have a carport that they work under.

There is a farmer that does it for fun (spare cash) in southern Minnesota. If you would like his number I can dig it up. FYI, He does need them off the rig though.

However - I doubt he would do it for $80 - $100 for 4 wheels. I have my doubts on the price stated - if it turns out to be $100 let us know. For that price it would be worth shipping wheels to the company.

'A Cut Above' is beside the Pilot truck stop which is beside the 75 Chrome shop! Min had not been done in years, the first time it was $120.00 to sand 4 wheels on the rear and polish all six outside. Each time after that is $80.00 to polish the six tires! (truck)

Solar dude, I'm
Headed there first thing AM. Stopped at a rest area about an hour away tonight. They charge about $25 a wheel. So yes the price stated is correct or close to correct. There's no way I'm dismounting 6 wheels to have someone polish them...even if it were free. No way. I'm more than happy to pay someone $150 or less to polish them while I eat my lunch inside my air conditioned coach.
