clear coat peeling on wheels Reply #1 – June 22, 2009, 03:14:59 AM i used what is called aircraft remover. It comes in a metal can, and it burns your skin! Be careful, but it works well(as long as you shake it). If you type jpc647 into cardomain, i have pictures posted of the before, during and after. Quote Selected

wheels Reply #4 – June 22, 2009, 06:36:55 PM I found the aircraft stripper today. I comes in a thick antifreeze size bottle with a picture of a B-52 on the front. I tested a small corner of the wheel . I can tell it is strong stuff , the clear coat bubbled and smoked . Cant wait till I'm finished . Thanks people! Quote Selected

clear coat peeling on wheels Reply #7 – July 02, 2009, 10:01:44 AM I always get it done with Castrol Super Clean! That Aircraft stripper works just very nasty stuff. Then depending on the finish you want you can just sand off the clear. Stuckman. Quote Selected
