Help with cleaning the inside of my forged wheel!

Hey guys, today I took my RO_JAs off for the winter. Anyhow I brought them inside and attempted to clean the inside which was really really grose..



I was able to get them this clean but I just cant get them as clean as I would like them.





Is their anyway to make them look new again? I just spend about an hour doing it and im pretty unhappy with the results.

what did you use to clean them? looks like some mild etching/pitting. i usually go at it with a polishing/felt wheel on a drill for jobs like that. mother's chrome polish usually makes short work of that. after doing all that work i'd definitely apply a wax/sealant onto them to help aid in dust/dirt removal next time around.

Try aluminum polish first. "Mother's Powerball" is your friend in this case.
