Anodized polished lip care

Well, if you've ever had a chrome wheel...it's as easy to clean as that - just wash and wipe...much less maintenance than a high polished wheel...high polished wheels usually have to some sort of wax or polish applied to them from time to time or else they start to dull. Anodized is cool because it's a more resilient finish than high polish and has a unique luster. The downside is iff you ever nick or damage them it's going to cost more to fix and the thing is, it's really difficult to find wheel repair shops that are capable of doing anodizing.

All high polished wheels come with clear coat/Anodized on them
Just use water and light soap. Some soaps have harsh chemical so becareful.
DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICAL or WHEEL CLEANER. Most wheels cleaners have acid/harsh chemical so once you stain the wheel/high polished area, Its HISTORY.
If your wheels are already stained here is an option for you.
Just get the wheels repolished. The only thing with repolishing a wheels is that it takes the clearcoat off.
For me, I don't mind taking the clear coat off. Its little more maintence but its easier to clean when stained.

yes, never ever use any harsh chemical on the wheels, any of those "wheel cleaners" out there, i can care less what they say, do NOT use them. just soap and water, that's all you need
and btw, if you damaged anodized lips, correct me, but there is no way you can really restore them to original form. you can fix and polish them, but they are never back to the anodized state
