Any suggestions for cleaning the inside of the Fuchs? I just bought some originals, outside they all look great, inside it looks like baked on oil (a very thin tough layer). I just tried armor all wheel cleaner to no avail.

I find the best thing is wheel acid. But this stuff is serious and should be used with extreme care. It can ruin a set of Fuchs in seconds if not used properly. It does perform miracles when in the right hands.
And do not get any on the wheel face ! It kills the factory clear anodized coating on the wheels. This is why it is not sold to the public in stores. I get it from a auto detail supply. |
