What problems does your Jeep have this week?

These are the new Dynatrac 60 hubs with the all new “rusty grease”

Guess I know where my chirp was coming from.

damn, those look like they were never packed with grease :doh:

I just got done removing rust from some parts that were rusted pretty bad.

Beadlock bolts soaked in WD_40 Rust Remover, let them sit for 24 hours, rinse and soaked them again in clean fluid, came out great.

Sprayed them with WD-40 Rust inhibitor - supposed to be good for a couple of years

I have no idea if they were or weren’t. They will be now though.

Those look good. I use this stuff and it works great!

No idea. It pulls rust and grease and crap off anything. I’ll post some pictures later when I pull the hub parts out. I used it on parts from the DJ that were original and it worked great.

The cleaner is doing work. I’ll let them soak over night to get all the shit off and clean them tomorrow.

Strong degreasers will usually fuck off bare aluminum.

You would be better off getting products specifically for cleaning aluminum, wheel cleaner for the brake dust & polish after. If their super greasy a mild solvent or even gas would do less damage than a degreaser. A 3M scotch bright pad is great for getting the inner half to look new again so long as its not painted.

The grim reaper stuff is okay to use on aluminum I believe.

I use Zepalume acid on my tanker truck. The wheels and the tank. Then polish with mothers or white diamond polish. I use corn starch sprinkled on a micro fiber cloth to take off the polish.

I've tried a lot of aluminum specific cleaners and they don't seem to do much after spending several hours on a wheel.

might need to give this and grime reaper a try.

This is the worst wheel but they all look pretty similar:

Just dont use to much acid it will etch the wheels. I usually cut it with water 50/50 before i put it on the wheels. The finer the mist you can spray the better.

Those do look pretty jacked up. Chemical guys has a product that looks interesting, its supposed to remove iron contamination from wheels. Its called "Decon Pro", might be worth a try.

If all else fails you could wet sand them with some 600-1000 grit sandpaper & follow with aluminum polish.

ETA: A 3M Scotchbrite pad would give them a brushed finish & be way less work
