Who cleans & Dow 7 vintage Halibrands?

[Steven B.]

Who cleans (prefer sonic) and Dow 7's vintage Halibrand magnesiums? I have tried numerous wheel restorers and aero shops with no luck. Thanks! Steve

Hi Steve,
Do you want them to look new or preserve their patina. Here's a place that does Dow 7 but you probably have seen this already.

Of course, if these wheels are too ugly for your '57 I'll pick them up and put them on my '59. It's already ugly.

Thanks Tom! When I lived in Indy I stupidly stripped the Dow 7 to plate them and now want to clean them (some oxidation) and return them to the original look. I will call them tomorrow. What have you done to the '59 the past couple of years? You had to have done more than I have! How's retirement? Steve

Uh....I know I did something. Let me think for a couple of days and I might be able to come up with it.

Retirement is great. I highly recommend it.
