Hi Everyone,
I need help on polishing my wheels. We currently use Blue Diamond and it requires a lot of work. Is there anything easier?

We had our wheels polished at Lazydays, Seffner (Tampa), FL, a few weeks ago for $11 each. I stood and watched the guy, and it was very easy for him.
He used some light green stuff, which I understand is available at T/A truck stops for the purpose. He simply put some on a pad, wiped it on, rubbed a little, and wiped it off with a terry towel. He wore latex gloves, by the way.

How can you tell if the Wheels are Seal Coated and can not be polished. I suspect my are not Sealed on our '01 Intrigue, 'cause they are tarnishing badly. Is there a Code stamped into the Rim for designation???? Lee in Portland

The new Alcoa non tarnish wheels came out sometime in late '02 I think. At least my '02 built in Aug of '01 doesn't have them. I found some stuff called White Diamond at a farm progress show that works real good. It takes some rubbing but you just let the chemicals and abrasive do the work. You do not have to rub hard, just rub. I have seen White Diamond at truck stops and they do have a web site.

Lee & Don,
Country Coach does not offer the Accushield rims. The non-tarnish clear coated wheels have a orange peel look to them, they dont look as nice as a polished rim. If you ever scratch the clear coat rim it looks really bad. Pros and cons to each.
A customer/ex trucker once told me to use baking flour to remove the polish (Mothers, Blue Daimond, etc). You place a little flour in a large Zip Loc along with your removal rag and shake it up. He said that makes removing the wax very easy.

There has been a lot of reference on this site about Diamond Brite. It can be purchased at Lowes in the department where they sell truck storage boxes.
Good old elbow grease is the best.
One tip: At some of the truck stops there are the laborer type follows from south of the border that go around polishing truck wheels. They work very cheap and do an excellent job. I used them a couple of years ago at a Flying J in Colorado. All four wheels for $20.00 (plus a tip, of course)

My brother-in-law told me the story of his shining up the spinners on his Beachcraft Baron. He was also told to use the flour on the rag trick after using Mothers polish. He said it was the worst two days of his life getting the mess off!
