Hey,

Ive searched for thread on cleaning Volks but there isn't alot of consistancy... alot of 'dont dos' but have yet to find something that works!

The guy at the volk dealer told me to use jewelery cleaner, then put a coat of quick wax over it. He said he did it on his and they looked new. He also said the dish is anodized stainless steel... anyone confirm this?

If this is true, I asked him is something like CLR would fix the problem. He said he never even thought of that.

Please post suggestions that WORK!

Thanks~

 

I heard that the safest route to go is to use soap and water, never heard of anyone using CLR though. And yes the lips are anodized.

 

Ya, soap and water still has those white spots everyone gets... I thought id check on here before I tried other stuff.

CLR is probably safe, I have used it on other anodized metals and it didn't do anything bad.

Brasso would also work for a good cleaning/polish.

 

I have vellano wheels, and they recommend Eagle One nevr-dull for the chrome.

 

I use meguiars all wheel cleaner for my volk gts wheels works perfect just follow directions. Then clean them again with soap and water that's my 2 cents

 

I just use mothers wheel polish, or blue magic and polish it a few times, then put a coat of wax. Yes the dish is anodized.

 

Take care of it like you would any painted surface. I had some stains from dirty water dwelling in the lips after a few rainy days and I clay barred it. Came right out

 

that is nice. I'm also searching around for info on how to protect Volk lips. So what clay bar did you use? Did the clay bar scratch the surface?

 

Can someone tell me why the anodize lips get haze (Volk and Work lips)? I believe there is a haze on one of my rim lip but i dont know why it happened.

 

Yeah but what do you do for the TE37's in Bronze?! I just use soap and water... any other suggestions, bc I still get like water spots....

 

i wash mine with soap and water...i dry them and wipe the white spots with megs quick detail and put a coat of poorboys wheel sealant

 

White spots after the water dried out? Why dont you guys just use a towel or some kind of napkins to wipe them off while they are still wet? I do that on my wheels, not on the lips though because they might be scratched but on the spokes is fine.

 

I tried to dry the lip, and there is still that haze... someone suggested Mother Mag/Aluminum cleaner... anyone use that?
