  • Cleaned & Painted Insides Of Aluminum Wheels

    Posted by DON on November 19, 2024 at 11:28 am
    No trips planned anytime soon and the wx is agreeable, so:
    1)Removed, mechanically cleaned then painted the “insides” of all 4 aluminum wheels on the tag and drive axles. Steer axle wheels are next.

    Don,

    looks nice. What did you use to get them clean and what did you paint them with? I need to put new tires on my drive so i am looking at doing the same while the tires are off.

    Harbor Freight polisher, wire brush attachment, and some rattle can paint.
    At least annually I have the tag and steer axles wheels/tires off the bus to clean/lube slide pins, etc, etc. It has always driven me crazy that I wasn’t able to (easily) clean the inside of the wheels. I’ve tried many chemicals and hand brushes, all wo/success.
