    Fuchs refinishing recommendations

    I have a pair of deep 6 and a pair of 7R that I had Harvey do a few years ago. Perfection.
    Then last winter I drove on wet salty roads and ruined the finish. I've tried everything to clean them up - to no avail.

    So I need them redone. Again.

    Paint is fine. The anodized part is blemished.

    But I don't want to wait for Harvey again.

    So who is really good. And FAST?

    Thanks,
    Clarke

    One must follow the rule of the triangle.....good, fast, cheap.

    You can have two sides of the triangle but NEVER all three.

    Call Harv. Maybe he can move things along...one the other hand, you DID drive in salt! Duh!

    What is the best way to protect them so they don't suffer this type of damage?

    I used Fuchs Restoration (https://www.fuchsrestoration.com) back in April, took about 4 weeks all in, wheels were all black and had to go back to factory finish which they are now. Very happy with quality and turnaround time together with communication. Strongly recommended.
