Cleaning/polishing the fuchs...

[84carrera]

Any recomendations on aluminum polish??? Looking for something heavy then maybe another lighter polish to restore/protect luster even more...Wheels have small areas of heavy heavy grime where weights have been from the past(chemical cleaner to remove that???)...Anyone have or had the same problem???

Unless previously stripped you'll find the standard wheels have a clear laquer protecting the rims. Mine was starting to lift, so I stripped the laquer and polished the rims. As they're forged (most wheels are cast) they are very durable and an excellent finish is possible with a bit of elbow grease.

If the laquer isn't cracked, try t-cut first and then polish.
