I recently purchased some slot wheels that are brushed aluminum. There is some oxidation marks on the rims. What can I use to remove this and clean them up? The wheels are not high shine I do not think.

If they have a clear coat on them, use a fine drywall sanding screen and do it dry while wearing a dust mask. Then start with 600 grit and work your way up to a mirror finish say 600, 800 then 1200. Then buff with aluminum polish and a pow-r-ball thingy. Wash them with clean water and a cloth and then apply a good coat of wax.
