I'd hate to distroy the finish on my wheels.
What do you guys use to clean and restore the look of wheels like these? They are on my '75 2.0. ![]() |

Do they still have the anodized coating on them? If so then soap and water should suffice. If it's been taking off at sometime, then I used regular metal polish to spruce them up

Those look way to shiny for the stock anodized finish. Use Mothers mag and Aluminum Polish.

I use Mother's Mag Wheel polish, 0000 steel wool and some clean terry cloth rags. It's easier to pull the wheel off and work on a bench, too - better results.
I just scored a set of those exact same wheels to put on my '75 1.8L (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) - What size lug bolts can I use and where can I find them (shiny too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) There are NONE to be found in my little mountain town... |

What kind of wheels are they?
I've had the car for a little over 2 years and cleaned them once because I don't want to mess up the finish. |

Thanks, I was wondering what they were.
I'll continue to use just soap and warm water when it comes time to cleaning them. |
