Salt Stained Wheels

I have a set of 15" inch SPOON wheels, these are light weight racing wheels made from Magnesium/Aluminum alloy and have had the finish stained by salt from the roads. I am not sure of the finish on the wheels, i.e., powder coat, paint... but it is a FLAT BLACK color.

Darren,

The answer lies in Surrey ... go thou to PANTHER ... who do this work for Mercedes, Porsche, Volvo and Jaguar ... and the quality control is totally superb ... even Corvettes from Seattle go there for a 'fix'.
