First off, I cleaned these wheels only per instructions listed on Fikse.com. I never did try scratch removal or any abrasive chemical on the wheels, so as far as that goes, maybe some of these are removable. Here are some of the imperfections I was speaking of. The worst one is first.
Here are a few little nicks. This is in the rear whel if I remember correctly.
...Followed by what looks like a little watermark.
This is a ridiculously small nick on the 'spoke' but it's the absolutely only problem I found with the wheel centers, everything else was on the non-clearcoated lip and trust me, this was hard to find.
Next is a series of sort of spider webs. Maybe these will buff out, not sure.
A couple of pics of the wheels from about a foot and a half away. Basically none of the stuff here in the photos is viewable from more than a foot away. The wheels look incredible overall, but obviously I am ridiculously **** about perfection which is why I wanted to disclose everything in the sale.

Those spots on the lip... all can be taken out pretty easy. I had pits all over my wheels and a little wet sanding too them out. I would say a few minutes with some 2000 grit paper and mothers billet polish they all would be gone.
If I had the cash I would buy these off you.

Ya I figured. I called Fikse a while back and they were telling me basically the same thing. The only thing i've used on these were soap and water (and a light wax) though.
