"WOW" it works ! ! ! Oven cleaner on the Fuchs.

Well, just for grins I tried the oven cleaner on my Fuchs, it worked like a charm. The trick is to leave it on until it turns black and take it to the car wash and spray it with high pressure till the black comes off. When I got back home I hit it with the buffer and they shined like chrome. Still got some work to do but that sure beat sanding them by hand.

That sounds great. I appreciate the ongoing discussion-esp. with positive experiences!
I will try as soon as I get my baby on the road again (still snowing here).

Thanks, jens
