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.

Yellow easy off contains lye.
That will strip the anodized finish from the front of the wheel...or any other finish for that matter. Careful that you dont use a product that contains lye. Rich |

You will Fuch the important side up for certainan permenantly, unless of course you get them refinished. You really have to be carefull with anodized wheels, Once and only once I took a car to a detailer and told him no cleany the wheel no polish the wheels no shiny the wheel, just buf the scratches and wax the paint ect.. sure enough they sprayed something on the wheels thinking shinny chrome.. clouded stained the Fuch's, lucky for them I was getting them refinished at Al Reeds the next week.. Proper Anodized Refishing runs about $700. |
