Default volk lip-clear coated or anodized?

Are the volk lips polished and then clear coated or are they anodized? The reason I'm asking is if it is anodized i can use an aluminum cleaner on it and polish it up. If you have any suggestions speak up.

Depends on which volks you are talking about, GT/SF series wheels have anodized lips while LE series wheels have clearcoated lips. Since you have GT-C's based on your sig, they are anodized. Stick to car soap and water, or an anodizing safe wheel cleaner such as Meg's multipiece wheel cleaner

i got two different replies. So are the GTC's clearcoated or anodized? Mine are getting the haze and I need to do something about it (it's killing me).

Just to be sure, contact someone at http://www.mackinindustries.com/

I would get the word from the horse's mouth, so to speak. I have heard that my GTS' lips are anodized, others have told me clear coat... Let the distributor answer your question...
