it all started with Easyoff oven cleaner

Last satuday evening went something like this. I'm bored. I have five extra fuchs in the shed... they look horrid. honey do we have any easyoff?.........so I put the Easyoff thing to the test. It stripped the anodized coating like butter... very cool! now what? cleaned, wet sanded and polished two steps. medium and fine. all told about an hour and a half per wheel. Now, they ain't perfect ... but pimp daddy for autoX wheels...Next stop tire rack.

nothing fancy here.


I wish I had taken a before shot!


Like I said not perfect. This is the stock finish under the anodized finish. Rough and with tooling , marks...some worse than others
I suppose this is where the real time is spent. A mega size wheel and motor would help..

If you have a set of crappy wheels, this is a quick fix....cheers scott
