Default Oxcidation on my volks.

I noticed that my bronze te-37's when dry have a whitish blochy color to them, but when they are wet they appear to be how they are supposed to. to me it looks like the haze that appears on shower door glass. are powder coated finished supposed to do this? what can i do to get the white stuff off?

Thanks!

I dont think the bronze is powder coated but anodized instead. YOu may want to check with them.

What have you been using to clean them?

P21S also makes a stronger product called a Multi-Surface Finish Restorer. It is safe on paint, so it should be fine on your wheels.

Nin009 is right, the Finish Restorer DOES work on that - I helped someone with that issue at an auto meet recently.

volk only recommends using car soap + water + cotton towel, in cleaning their wheels for a long lasting life. Im sure theire are products outthere that will clean the wheel without harming it but i wouldnt take the chance to mess up my volks.
