In the past I've restored fuchs but have always removed the anodizing and polished the wheels.
I have a set of fuchs that are in beautiful condition but their discolored with grime etc from 35 years. Do you have any tips for getting the wheels back to the original anodized look by just removing the layers of grime etc? Steel wool? 2000 grit wet and dry? Media blast with ? |

In addition to Al Reid, who George is recommending above .... There's Weideman closer to you up north: Harvey Weidman of Weidman's Wheels in Oroville, California. (530-534-7903) You may want to check out this discussion: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...104799&st=0 I've talked with Al Reid & seen his work, & it's great. However, I'll also be checking out Weideman as well, before I decide which to use to restore my set of 5 Fuchs for my 73 2L - even though Reid is very close to me here in SoCal. |
