Clear coat removal.

Edited: 10/14/2006 5:36:31 PM by rooster632

What is the best way to remove clear coat from a set of aluminum wheels. I was trying to find some type of gel remover at the parts store but wasn't sure what would work best. I just traded for a truck and the wheels on it are pretty bad looking. The clear coat is all cracked and the aluminum is oxidized. I want to get the clear off and just polish the wheels for now.

this might help you out...

get em soda blasted then polish them.

Thanks for the tips guys but I need something low buck. The wheels are some older 15" five stars and anything more than a few bucks is probably worth more than the wheels themselves. LOL

Anybody?

Sand it off, I used 220 grit on my escalades, worked like a charm. Hopefully you have a DA and compressor, take a long time by hand, lol

You can get aircraft stripper at checker for like 7 bucks a can. take em to a car wash, spray them, wiat bout 20 minutes and spray them off. then polish them and your done.
