Picked up some more wheels... wire wheel cleaning tips?!!
Got these Dayton’s with tires for a song.... I tried a little test on a small section with some mothers chrome. And at the rate this stuff works I’ll have to quit my job. What is an easy and safe way to get this dust and grime and slight rust?
Get a tub and fill it with a combination of metal polish, hot water, and a gallon of metal rescue or similar rust dissolver. Basically a slow parts washer. And a toothbrush.

Is that ok for tires? I don’t want to dismount them
Take them into a shop that does baking soda blasting. The soda blast is very gentle, you can remove paint one layer at a time if you want. No need to dismount the tires, take them in as-is and they will come back beautifully polished.
Well, I’m going to put them up on Facebook market and eBay probably... if anyone’s interested still let me know. I’d like to sell all 4 at once but if a couple people want 2 that’s fine. PM me an offer. The wheels will clean up great once fully cleaned... since I’m not keeping them I’m not getting all the surface rust and tar off. You can see in the photos little black tar dots on some of the wheels... with a quick steel-wool, comes right off.
