    Another Fuchs question

    My wheels are a bit 'oxidized' (believe would be the term), looking a bit cloudy rather than clean and shinny.

    What is the best apporach to cleaning these up short of a complete restoation?

    I can post pictures later if need be...

    Anodizing is just glorified oxidation. Are you sure it is not the correct, factory anodized finish? The RSR 'frosted' look is just even thicker anodizing (oxidation).

    Post photos to be sure, but it sounds like your anodize is stained. Stains generally don't come out of the "clear/polished" part (top of the spokes and outer lip)of the wheels very well. If they are stained there, they will need restoring.
