I got these rims from my uncle, and they have some kind of build up, oxidation, or other retardation. They've got this black stuff on them and I was wondering if I can get rid of it. Some of it comes off every once in a while when I polish them, but not much and there's alot on the rims. My dad said to try some rubbing compound, and I think he gave it a try but no luck. Any suggestions to get rid of this stuff?
I was thinking about steel wool, but I don't want to scratch the chrome. I think we've got some oxi-clean here, I may give that a try Thurs (work tomorrow :( )

I dunno.. from here that just looks like caked on brake dust..
I don't think it is since the car they came off of has been sitting for over 3 years. When they parked it, the rims looked decent, but overtime this stuff showed up. I've tried washing the bejeebus out of them with regular car wash, and it won't come off. I'll see if I can find some oxyclean tonight when I get home and give that a try. Any recommendations on how to do it?

Yea, just like in the advert :D
My guess would be to apply it with a sponge, and see if it doesn't just desolve it away.. If it doesn't work you'll have to bust out some steel wool on its ***...

I've used to use it all the time on my bmx bike...It worked great on that, I just got the finest I could find, get it wet and it wouldn't scratch up the chrome...
Try using a rag and some paint thinner or mineral spirits. If it is brake dust caked on it will break it up and wont hurt the finish of the rims. Also you can use one of those green scrubby pads with thinner before you try to use steel wool. It's worth a shot before going to far and ruining them. I just don't know about steel wool.
