Had to change name, but not car.. (HELP MY WHEELS)
I got rid of AOL, so now I cannot log on under my old name GOFASTER. So, new name, same car, new question. I used oven cleaner on my wheels, and it fu@ked them up BIG TIME. They look glazed over like the oven cleaner just killed the clear coat. I tryed to fix it but no luck, what can I do?

section. (old name GOFASTER)
ET Class: PRO-OUTLAW
12.719 @ 108.24 MPH
1/4 times at 4000 feet
above sea level (Utah).
So I am guessing high
11's corrected.

Strip them and re-finish or leave bare.
Use "aircraft stripper" from any auto parts store, it comes in a spray can. Or stop by Home Depot, they have it in quart size bottles.

John, your saying just spray this "striper" on the wheels and rinse? If so I am going to the parts store now.

Aircraft stripper will strip the wheels down to bare metal. Then you can re-finish them or leave them bare. Several guys on this board were stripping them and then polishing them to a shine. It's a time-consuming process, but the results are great. Try to find some of the posts on this topic. I believe yellowiroc was in the process of polishing his wheels.

Stripper or no stripper it is a time consuming and messy process. The polishing part is the fun part. It would be pointless to strip them and not polish them.
I used the aircraft stripper on my wheels and it didn't even phase the clearcoat....this is what I resorted to.....don't laugh.

Hey, I live in Sandy and I have a few friends who own f-bodies. I think a cruise night would be awesome! Not too many f-body owners that I see nowadays. toss me an e-mail about where and when. kashmir_x@hotmail.com
me and my friends want to head to the track, we've never been (my good buddy owns a mustang, though. believe me, he gets a lot of crap for it!!!) maybe I'll see youthere soon!
