Just wondering about my mags.

When we wash them and just spray on that McGuires(sp?) wheel polish stuff.. They come up really shiny but in spots have little .. blemishes I suppose you could call them.

Where can you get your mags cleaned... IF you can clean them with something to make them look like new. Haven't tried polishing them yet with a rub on polish ... I will do it one day.

But yeah.. Are there any places that "rejuvenate" mags to make them look like new??

Here is a pic of them. You can see the marks in the picture...

i aint sure is this will help much, but when i have found to work the best, is ya know those cloth nappies, those nice white ones???

i wet those, and use a bit of the soap stuff you wash car with.. give them a real good wash.. then use that polish wheel stuff...

what it might be, is where you have sprayed on tire blackener or armor all its hit the wheel.. so you use the rag with a hand to protect the wheel from getting sprayed when you sprya tires.

Its kinda hard to tell from the pic what kinda finish they are. Are they painted and clear coated or are they polished alloy ?

If they are polished alloy use a metal cut'n'polish type cream to clean them.

Or if they are painted and clear coated what may have happened is the clear coat has slightly peeled/cracked and let air in and oxidization has caused the blemishes, it will be kinda noticable cos the blemish will be under the clear coat and no amount of washing will get rid of it. You could cut and polish it till the clear coat is removed, but if this is what happened its better to take it to a mag specialist to fix it.

You should have mag repairers round your area somewhere.

    • Meh, it's only got to last another 10 years or so until you'll be forbidden to drive it. Keep it dry and forget about it.
    • The title of Engineer is not protected. However different states have different rules about what an Engineer requires to operate. Engineering for a motor vehicle modification is very different to engineering for a bridge, electronics, etc, including what that engineer needs as certifications.   In Canberra, "Engineer" is the loosest category with basically nothing stopping you calling yourself and engineer and designing a bridge or building. From what I've reviewed, QLD has the strictest requirements through RPEIQ.
    • Yeap, legal modifications are limited  We have rules and regulations on what you can do legally This is for NSW, other states have different governing bodies  https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/vehicle-registration/how-to-register/registering-a-used-or-secondhand-vehicle/modified-and-non-standard-vehicles https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf Lots of people just roll the dice though and just hope they don't get picked up,  as the police and RMS occasionally run roadside inspections, getting "defected" for not complying can be a painful and expensive experience 
    • Out of curiosity, I believe the title of "Engineer" is not protected in Australia like it is over here. I'm curious, does Australia actually have professional engineers do vehicle inspections?  If so, Jesus Christ what in the f**k.
