STRIPPING paint off of sport rims

yes,they are very worthy.the finish on these wheels was a little messed up from the previous owner anyway and i'm a perfectionist.they MUST look good !....

and here is a little tip for anyone that has polished aluminum wheels with no clear coat...you can maintain the finish on polished aluminum wheels no matter how messed up they look.

simply get some "3m rubbing compound A" .this stuff will take rust off of chrome.then simply wax the wheels for a longer lasting new looking finish.the eagle wheels i put on my wifes car over 6 years ago still shine like new because of this 3m rubbing compound.i do hers once a year and thats all i have to do.very good stuff.

A very good friend of mine has had the wheels done on his bikes, his custom wheels on his 65 Nova and the work this place does is just insane. Here's why I haven't done this yet, the upkeep and the fact that I went in a different direction with a few things in my business. I'm going Tuesday for a price and time frame. I will keep everyone up to date. I'm hoping it comes in under $200.00 a wheel.
