Bought these wheels earlier this year. They had light to moderate curb rash and one wheel had some overall oxidation that made it look sort of gray. Overall not in bad condition at all. -thanks for a good deal Mark
Shipped them to Al Reed 3-4 weeks ago. I shipped them 2 wheels to a box and it cost $32 per box to ship them to Al. Attached image(s) |

I'm not sure what to do about a topcoat. It sound like Sammy has good experience with using wenol blue. If I can find it might give it a try.
I didn't know about the clear coat option. Any other suggestions on proper topcoating of polished Fuchs? I just called Al's shop. Info from Diane at Al's shop - Use windex and pledge. NEVER clean wheels when they are hot! Stay away from wheel cleaners that have harsh chemicals. Use cleaners that are designed for raw aluminum only. Mother's makes one that works well and a product called Extreme Metal Polish works well. Mark - I did get the heater parts. They look great! I really need to post more pics. I did not get to the fuse panel yet. |
