Is it safe to use? I don't see any warnings on the can.

if it is thick I use some orange hand cleaner and brush first.

After you clean them while they are dry spray them down with NAPA's Aluminum brightener. It will make them look like new. I used to use on my aluminum trailer when I had my bay boat. Stuff is amazing but wear gloves and eye protection when spraying it on.

I thought about replacing them with aluminum but it's a freakin trailer. Trailer has aluminum ibeams. I might have to try that NAPA stuff on them.

Dish soap and vinegar. Squeeze in some hand sanitizer that's pure ethanol. Then you got yourself some Powerhouse Dawn. Vinegar is extra.
It's a zinc coating. Clean it in the shade and actually scrub it with a soft brush.

Didn't say the wheels would look good but they will look like new. If you do try that NAPA stuff make sure the surface you spray it on is dry. Let it sit for a minute they hose it off.

I knew what you meant. Not sure why anyone would put galvanized wheels on a nice aluminum trailer. I have hated them since I bought it. I think the previous owner pinched a few pennies wherever he could.
