Decided to go matte bronze powdercoat

Look on page 2, I think I linked the cleaner that was used. I use that specifically for my X3 and wife's Jetta wheels. It doesn't say on the product description but it specifically says on the bottle NOT FOR FINISHED ALUMINUM. Posting "Wheel Cleaner" is dangerous unless you know what you are...

The local shop here said they would do their best to keep what they could but they noted quite a few places that has already bitten into the aluminum all the way through the clearcoat, so unfortunately even if some of it was save, there are other portions on the center that are toast. They are...

What I hear you saying is. "Restore them, sell them and get some Arc8's" Wheel medic was the first people I called. They are awesome. RIP Technipolish

I'm not. I'll keep an eye out!

I may get them stripped to the bones and consider this. Stripping is only $50 per wheel or something like that. Get the orbital out and go to town!

Poorboy’s Spray and Rinse Wheel Cleaner 32 oz

Columbus area, yes. Stopped by the wheel shop again and Powder coat will be roughly $600 for all 4. Full strip and high gloss polish $1,000. If I went powder I would do a light gunmetal or the other option of a high gloss silver paint. Is hyperblack or hypersilver a paint by stroke of...

Is 1500 soft enough to not remove the clearcoat? I'm assuming the wheel cleaner has already done its part there... just wanted to check, though

Had my cousin wash my car, unfortunately he used my corrosive wheel cleaner instead of the gentle stuff. I am afraid my finish is toast... Aluminum wheels... I have tried hand rubbing polish but with little luck. Should I get the orbital out with a polishing pad and try again? Or am I stuck...

I have multiple pads; one dedicated to each product type. I probably went a little too heavy on my glaze application. Noted on technique point; I'll give it some time before I blame the machine. I'm 5 foot nothing and detailing an SUV. Quite possible it's my technique lol...

Using a 5" backing plate with 5.5" CCS pads. Anybody want to buy a 7424xp at a reduced price? :P I generally have just followed the DVD instructions on 3 pea sied dots per section worked, but I will adjust based on what product and how much coverage I am getting out of it. I have been...
