i sprayed easy off on a set of fuches, and i am wondering how long do i need to leave the easy off spay on the rims before the anodizing comes off
or should i use something else
Full Version: de anodizing wheels with easyoff
yellow can with lye.
20 minutes, 3-5 times depending upon how thick it is.
Use Borax afterwards to stop the aluminum from turning black.

It's not easy to polish the Mahles. I tried. I don't think they are forged like the Fuchs.
I will paint the centers...it makes such a nice accent for the car, like red car on yellow centers....an polished lips a full polish looks a little to bling-ish for my liking

Mahles & Pedrinis are pressure cast and somewhat porous (rough surface).
Fuchs are forged and not as porous (smooth surface).

Pleeeeeze say that your referring to the Fuchs and not the Mahles. Creamsicles rims need to be painted
Dad and I have stripped,polished, and repainted 20 wheels now:

Al Reed can work wonders... I need to clean them up some now, but this was about 5 years ago. The pic of them on the car is just a week or two ago.
