    How to restore standard Legnum Alloys?

    Hi guys theres some clever knowledgeable folk on here so thought id ask for any tips. My Legnum is currently sat on standard Mitsu alloys however they are looking a little dirty and pitted. Is there any decent products or tips to bring them back to life? I tried a little bit of autosol but didnt really do much if honest as the metal seems rough? Ill be getting some nicer alloys eventually but winters on its way so doesnt seem any point lol

    Check out Rimfurbish - http://www.rimfurbish.co.uk/ - I sent my four V6-24V alloys to them a couple of years ago. They strip, dip, and restore them to OEM finish.

    The company's great - I sent off two at a time, using a spare wheel I had and the actual spare from the car.

    Depending on how much you want to pay (they are very reasonable) - this may be one option to consider.

    hi if they are pitted you wont be able to make them good unless its a strip and repaint. but if you want to get the dirt and brake dust off use some phosphoric acid. you spray it on leave it for 5 minutes, make sure you keep it wetted up then wash it off. you get this acid in alloy wheel cleaners but it works better when not diluted.
