Hubs are all stained with dirt and oxidized from over the years. They are the stock ones. Switching out my wheels for black ones and want them to look good.

Would the Eagle One Mag Wheel Cleaner hurt the cast aluminum? It says on the bottle “made for rough cast aluminum” but you never know....

Works great. Just don't leave it on for too long and make sure you wash ALL of it off when you're finished.

Yea you can use eagle 1 it works good. For cast stuff tho, you can just get it blasted. Will give you better results than eagle 1. Getting them soda blasted should only cost you like 20-30 bucks

no blasting gets all the crap out. Doesnt matter what you clean it with, if you dont coat it its going to stain again anyways.
