[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 384974, member: 6937"] I wouldn't use a steel wire wheel, it may embed iron oxide into the aluminum, causing staining. Instead, use a stainless wheel. But if nothing else, when you are done wire-wheeling it, give it a thorough wash with phosphoric acid, then a good rinse. This will etch the metal for new paint, and it will also neutralize any iron deposits left over from the wire wheel. [/QUOTE]
