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 ? |

I've harped on this before, and I mean harped! Product is Simichrome. Will take all the crud & years of junk off....if you are careful! Careful means that it will not remove the anodizing....repeat, if you are careful!
It's a paste that a little goes a long way with. Use a small "nerdle" (as I can them), about the size of a small pea. Rub ever so gently with a clean 100% cotton cloth, but only until it starts to turn gray - then stop & wipe off the excess. Work with small areas. If there are areas where the anodozing has worn off, the rag will turn black quickly. That will tell you that the part needs to be re-anodized. If not, proceed to the next area. The stuff is great!
