Any tips for cleaning anodized RSR finish?
I have a beautiful set of 15" Fuchs that Harvey Weidman did for me with the RSR finish. I believe the "matte" finish is anodized. While I have been fairly obsessive about keeping the wheels clean (washing them after every drive), there are now several spots where soap and water is not doing the trick.
Does anybody have any advice on how to clean in particular the anodized part of the RSR finish? Thanks |

Mine have a Weidman RSR finish and I normally just use the same car wash soap I use for the car. If they are a bit grungier, I use Dawn dish soap, but don't get it on the car body as it'll remove any wax you have on the paint.
If they are extra dirty with lots of brake dust and other crap, I spray them down with P21S gel wheel cleaner. I leave it on for five minutes or so to soak, then I give them a good scrub with a bristle brush. Likely any brush that doesn't have nasty hard bristles would work. The anodized finish is pretty damn tough. Then I hose them down. As they say, repeat as necessary. Good luck!

I do the pretty much the same as Kevin except I dilute the P21 spray on wheel cleaner.

I don't dilute but just don't leave it on for very long. And I only spray it on cool wheels that are usually damp or a little bit wet. So I guess it's diluted a little bit...

I use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for my RSR finished wheels which seem to work quite well, just use water and wring out.
