How to remove anodizing from aluminum Porsche wheels?

Q. I have a set of aluminum Porsche wheels that have black anodizing on them. I would like to know how to remove the anodizing and create a nice-looking aluminum appearance.

A. Dear Keith

You can remove the anodizing with caustic soda ⇦liquid caustic soda in bulk on Amazon [affil link] . But be aware that the caustic soda attacks your aluminium, so after removing the anodizing you will have a very dull surface.

Best regards
