ZQ8 Blazer · 02-18-2009, 04:23 AM

Some decent cleaner wax and good old fashioned elbow grease will take that right off. Welcome to the forum where people can never stay on topic. Who gives a fock how/why it got there...

LMFAO, I'm friggin tired. I meant to say How thick is it on there.

If it was pretty light I was going to say use a dish rag with dawn or something like that and then use claybar/wax.

its not too thick. i can pick at it wit my fingernail n it somewut comes off, so some of these suggestions should def work. thanks.

ßɭĬƮƵ · 02-18-2009, 04:44 AM

hopefully it comes out easily...

ZQ8 Blazer · 02-18-2009, 04:50 AM

If it comes off that easy then it shouldn't be too hard to get off.

sonomanator · 02-18-2009, 05:34 AM

i cant see a picture of the finish of the rim but aircraft stripper will remove it.

customchevys · 02-18-2009, 05:38 AM

if there is no real finish lacquer thinner will remove it in no time. Grease and wax remover might even take it off.

ZQ8 Blazer · 02-18-2009, 06:18 AM

They're clear coated or clear coated powder coat one.

customchevys · 02-18-2009, 06:29 AM

lol nevermind my idea then eat the clear off more than likely as well.

tWiZ-t · 02-18-2009, 06:29 AM

so which of all the things suggested would u suggest? lol

ZQ8 Blazer · 02-18-2009, 06:30 AM

Aircraft stripper=strip
lacquer thinner=dull

old_skool_noma · 02-18-2009, 10:31 AM

paint thinner, it wont cut the lacquer finish of the wheel, but the paint is rather cheap so should break down from it

tWiZ-t · 02-19-2009, 12:24 AM

i got it off but thanks for all the suggestions:

556mm · 02-19-2009, 12:28 AM

i used acetone and water. took it right off.

rusty10690 · 02-27-2009, 02:15 AM

no offesnse but those rims look so dirty so my guess is the paint just dryed to the dirt and u just basicly cleaned the dirt off lol but good juob anyway

ZQ8 Blazer · 02-27-2009, 04:20 PM

It's a dark grainy picture, probably a cell phone pic you dumb f*ck

lee-mill · 02-27-2009, 04:23 PM

another thing you could have done is got a very small amount of brake fluid and put it on the paint then wipe the hell outta it, but make sure you do it quick and wash them off good or the rim will be dull from the fluid eating away at the clear that is on the rim

no offense taken, but if you were referring to the first pic, i took it at night (notice the flashlight), with a cell phone. so yea its not the clearest pic. but ur prolly right i mean its winter, n i drive the truck everyday so they were prolly a lil dirty.

zack · 03-03-2009, 11:33 PM

shoe leather cleaner works amazing...no residue or nothin just spray on, let sit maybe a minute and whipe off then rinse

evandonald · 03-08-2009, 01:43 PM

Dirty or not I would take those extremes over my swirlies or winter steelies any day.
