HELP: CLeaning Bronze VOLKS
 

I bought some 19*10.5+12 CE28n for MY WW EVOX. they are in great condition. No curb rash at all but they have water marks on the spokes and the lip. It seems to not look fresh part of the rim looks somewhat dry ( if that makes sense. I tried using some Cleaners but it didnt do the job.

any suggestions?
wax? clay bar..i dont know. i just want them cleaner

PICS!.. they look dry.. if that makes any sense.

FOUND A SOLUTION LOOK @ POST 29

Clay bar will work. Mix some vinegar with your soap. If not, and it is etched into the paint, get yourself a very light polish and that should take it off.

which clay bars?

vinegar really??? never heard of that

wont polish remove the paint?

new to these things.

bump for more responses

Yes, try vinegar. Stray away from all those harsh chemicals. They can eat stuff up.

mguires wheel cleaner

Have you ever heard of people doing this to clean the volks?

bump for HELP

try waxing them?

It's not paint. Bronze volks are anodized. Overtime the color fades a bit, which is what you are seeing. Happens to all bronze volks over time.

I would try Brasso.

Brasso can be used on anything metal to clean and polish to a high shine without damaging or pitting the surface, and without a thick waxy thick buildup. From coin collections to photo frames, you can use Brasso on a wide assortment of household items.

It's pretty much safe on everything:

so there is no solution?

I just tried using peanut butter on 1 spoke on my bronze CE's and I'm surprised with the results....try it out!
