I recently received my wheels back from Weidmanns, annodized 944 turbo space savers for my 356. They look sweet. Thanks Harvey!

So, now I've been trying to determine the best way to keep these puppies clean. I have read horror stories of cleaners staining anodized wheels

(i) Harvey suggests soap and water or rubbing alcohol for persistant stains.

(ii) I posted on Pelican and some said P21 and one person even said WD-40. Harvey hasn't personally used P21 and wasn't sure about whether it was safe.

I also read about the use of Vaseline, but that seem to be more for making them look good. I need to clean them first.

Then I found a post by Chuck Moreland that said he cleans his anodized wheels with a waterless no-citrus, no-grit hand cleaner (Chuck, you on here? What brand do you use?)

Soap and water has been okay so far as long as I am on them right after driving the car, but there are still some stains. I also know that it is best to operate on cool/cold wheels.

As my last bit of homework, I wanted to check with this board to see what the consensus is. As usual, your help is appreciated.


Many Thanks, Jason
