You'll probably have to sand and polish/buff with wheels and bars to bring them back to as new. You can send them out for that at around $60 a wheel. Aside from that, there winters.

Scott there is a product on the market that will bring them back, lol, I saw it once on Trucks when Stacy was still on. For the life of me I can not remember what it was, it can be done, just takes some work.

The single stage polishes like mothers will only remove light oxidization. As soon as you have pits, I can guarantee that you'll be using wheels to bring them back to near or new condition.

If your going to just use a sigle stage polish, get your self one of those power balls so you don't wear your finger tips off.

Let me know if your going to sell them, I'm looking a set for my summer rubber.

Ive used a few things on my non-clear coated boyds to bring back teh shine..
Mothers mag and alum polish works well. I use it with a buffing wheel on the rotary and on the drill for the tight spots.
Ive found that never dull with mothers polish on the wad works good for quick shine jobs.
When it was bad pitted and oxidized, I used some meguiars compound, and then meguiars machine glaze, and then mothers mag polish. It made the boyds look like new again. however, it took about 2 hours per wheel.
