Message	I forgot the last grit I sanded with, but I used some 3M Restore Wax (which is actually for oxidized boat hulls, but its super gritty, like sand), and then Mothers aluminum polish. The bottom 2 wheels are the 2 I polished, the fronts looked good as new when I got them. The nuts are dark like that on the bottom left because they are sorta rusted, I wanted to take the wheels apart to clean those up, but I got kinda lazy after working on them all week. Excuse the messy garage, this has been corrected since then =]
