Have all four of my Fuchs alloys off the car for some brake work Decided to clean the inside of the wheels while they were off. Outsides look great. Got a lot of the brake dust/grime off the insides with Dawn detergent and a scrubby but I'm left with tons of black speckles. Anyone have a way to bring the insides of the wheels back to close to original? I didn't want to get too aggressive with the cleaners. Thanks.

"insides of the wheels back to close to original?"
do you have a picture? I have seen the back of wheels look bad because the aluminum is oxidized. I do not think that will just clean up. A lot to refinish the backs. I think you can just go with cleaning up the front of the wheels. Or send them out for refinishing and that costs a lot. Fuchsrestoration.com RS finish on Fuchs 4 lug Bob B |
