Anodized Wheels - Stains

Basically, I've had my WORK wheels for a bit over a year and I accidentally washed the lip with soap, which you're not supposed to do w/ anodized wheels. Unfortunately, it looks like there's a water stain. If i get a chance, i'll take some pics.

What I'm wondering is if you guys know if there's a way to get that stuff off w/out having to re-anodize the lip.... thanks in advance.

everyone in this thread recommends soap + water, too.

I ended up having to call a couple of authorized Volk dealers, Mackin, and TruWheel to find out that the lips CANNOT be repaired.

hope your case doesn't turn out like kurtis's. good luck!
