Busch alum. polish is the only kind to use, period. I have alum. wheels on my Hot Rod, they use cals. collide in the winter on the roads here. Mine got stained coming home one Jan. Tried everything you could buy in a parts store here and nothing would touch it. Went to a show and talked to the Busch guy and used it. WOW. Look like new. Found out the truckers all use it if they have alum. wheels.

House battery question.

Ok when hooked up to power or running on generator my battery monitor shows fully charged. However when unplugged from power and generator and engine is off the battery monitor shows empty of charge and nothing works that should be covered by house battery. In checking the voltage on the batteries they show plenty of charge. Any ideas?

During tire replacement we had ours pulled and polished in a polishing machine. They look new, they had gotten to corroded to hand polish out. $78.00 a wheel.
