Default Mag Polishing

Hey, I have a set of Moped rims with a few coats of old black paint. I am pretty sure the rims are made out of Mag. I want them to come out nice so ive decided to polish them. Im not sure what kit to buy so I can start polishing them. Thanks for the help!

Default Re: Mag Polishing

Treat it just like you would aluminum. The only thing is, mag may have a lot of pits in them, you may end up chasing your tail on this one. Mag. oxidizes rapidly, so you will have to coat them with something after polishing. Maybe you could strip the old paint and powder coat them chrome to get the look you want.
