They are not the same as your wheel with the anodized finish. They are actually just painted and very closely match the wheel. These are the caps you'll likely get: Pelican Parts - Product Information: 911-361-032-00-M100. Harvey told me that he can't anodize the caps to duplicate the wheel finish and these are very close, which I can attest to.

When I lost a couple of mine that's what I replaced them with and are identical to the ones I got from Harvey. But ouch, the price has increased a lot in the last two years -from $32 to $47 - wow...

And for your original question, I normally use regular car wash soap or even dish soap on my Weidman RSR finish, or P21S if they're really grungy.

IMHO I would like it better with center caps in the frosted finish as well..
If there are no caps the "centers" should be nicely cleaned up to enchance
its appearance
I had Harvey do some frosted center caps for me. He wasn't real excited about it but it was worth a shot. When I got them I wasn't real excited either. Frosted center caps just don't seem to work. Polished - or none at all. Those are my two choices.



btw - I'm really starting to like rattle can black for my track wheels. Easy to maintain. Easy to paint. Also very easy to notice if you have any cracks developing.
