				Quickie Fuchs Refurb
			 
			So all you q tip warriors can go, well, do what you do, but for the rest of us here's how I took a pair of wrecking yard Fuchs and cleaned them up. Total time is about an hour and a half per wheel. That said - I use power tools for a living so there's some operator experience going on here. Step one - using an angle grinder slowed down to lowest speed and a foam backed hook and loop 500 grit pad knock off the worst of it. Use soapy water for lube.    Then switch to a cotton buffing wheel in a right angle die grinder. Use Flitz polish with more soapy water to keep it all nice and gooey.   To get the inside bits use a dremel with a cotton buffing wheel  Then some rattle can semi gloss clear to match the look of OEM anodizing. Bottle caps make nice plugs to keep the spray paint out of the lug holes.  And voila! clean hoopdies  2 wheels -about 3 hours. Not concours, but for a set of track wheels not too dang bad. -C
