Re: using cornstarch to clean alum rim

An old-timer once told me as I was sweating away trying to get the mag polish off the aluminum rims on my Freightliner to use cornstarch. I tried it at it makes the job much easier and buffs them out to look like chrome.

I also learned to use 4x4 gauze pads purchased from a medical supply with the cornstarch and just toss them when they got too dirty.
