Re: cleaning old halibrand magnesium wheels
if they are really rough and sorta scalely ....fine glass bead them ....avoid sand blasting as it will open up the wheel and make the porosity really show....especially on the older halibrands.... brandon

Re: cleaning old halibrand magnesium wheels
A long time ago I did this pair by hand with the tires in place. I used steel wool and Brasso. I wouldn't even attempt it now, my hand would probably fall apart before I finished one.

Re: cleaning old halibrand magnesium wheels
wrights silver polish and steel wool works great, this was less than 5 minutes worth of work.
