Fuchs Finish Image Library: Post your pics - Page 10

Here are my 16" Fuchs--6 and 7 inch--painted Cassis Red to match the car. I put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on them at the start of the summer--much better ride than the POs run down Dunlops. I'm working on bringing them back--touched up the paint a few weekends ago, but want to polish the rims. Any advice on how best to do that? I was thinking about trying the smaller Mother's polishing ball.

do you know if the lips are cleared or not because that will change things a bit generaly they are anodized

This is only a test. And if the owner of this nice 911 finds out I have been photoshoping his car, he will have me shot.

Of course, the color is way off on the strips. I was hoping more for a cobalt blue.

I suggest we make Fuchs wheels the monetary base for a new currency. They seem to have so much inherent value. 16 x 8's and 9's, original condition.

Polished, than Scotchbrite to take down the shine. Satin black background, etc.

wire wool, aluminium polish, then buffed with flexi drill attachment, and finally hand finished with soft cloth and lotsa elbow grease. Coat with WD40 over winter to help protect finish from road salt and hard rain. Trust me WD40 nis perfect for the job of protecting finish
