    Cleaning Magnesium rims ?

    Ive searched the web and have come across various home remedies such as lemon juice and vinegar. Ive spot tested "scrub free" orang cleaner which looked promising but am worried about and entire wheel application. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    i used to clean my marchisinis with good old fashioned simple green (undiluted) and water. you'll have to do a little hand scrubbing but they should come pretty clean and deffinatly won't be harmed.

    ou know its funny you say that cause I love my simple green and i know its the strongest and least harmful cleaner out there... thanks for the tip...

    on another note I have alot of aluminum accent peices that are a bitch to clean. I just soaked them in oranger foam cleaner for 30 minutes and theyre still not as clean as id like them to be... ideas ?
