Removing Laquer from Fuchs Alloy Wheels
I have a set of Fuchs which have been laquered at some
time. The wheels are in good original condition except that the laquer
is coming off in places.
I would like to remove all the laquer and then polish them up.
I have tried cellulose thinners which removed some laquer but not all.
I have considered paint stripper but I fear it may remove the black
anodised finish aswell.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience of this?

If it is the original black underneath go easy with paint stripper and you will be ok. (Maybe test a little area first) I had some original fuchs that someone had sprayed black, I used some stripper and some fine wire wool and hey presto.
Are the wheels anodised under the lacquer as if you want to polish them, the anodising will have to come off. I can't imagine hand sanding that off being much fun.
