The wheels on my F250 are tarnished bad with brake dust and oxidation. Is there a STRONG chemical that can clean them up nice? What would be a good way to get the polish back to them? Ive used the meguires and mothers crap and they didnt touch it. 

The best chemical is grease,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elbow grease...

I have used P21S wheel cleaner and it works wonders with very little effort on brake dust. Don't know how it will work on oxidation.

Don't know where it is sold locally, I got it from amazon.

Yea F that!!! Ive polished several things with compounds and buffing wheels but it would make a mess on the wheels and wear me out!

Wash wheel thoroughly to get brake dust off. Then use the nevrdull cotton wadding shit and elbow grease. The stuff I had was made by eagle 1 but I think Neverdull also has its own brand. Just check the spelling on Nevrdull.

Yup did that already. Worked good on my exhaust tip but notta on the wheels. 

Oxidation that bad, ehh? Your gonna have to remove it via a fine wire wheel, fine steel wool, or a scothbrite pad and then re polish the aluminum after the white oxidation is gone. You might find bad pitting underneath..

Used on the aluminum diamond plate on the firetrucks. Did a fantastic job bring a shine back.

The aluminum is coated with clear coat and is a SOB to take off.

 

Try a powerwasher or brake cleaner. Once you remove the caked on dust it will look much better.

 

You can also try clearing over the existing coat too. I've seen it work once, but YMMV.
