also heard this in a forum thread on polishing motorbike frames . obviously the cleaner is caustic, but if you remove it fast enough it should still work,

what are you doing to them afterwards?

yeah i'll give the oven cleaner a try

the lips on my rims are red burgundy atm. i wanna get rid of the color and get em polished up.

asked a couple wheel polishing places and both said they wont do it coz rims are 1 piece and their buffing machiness wont fit in the tight spaces beteen the lip n the spokes...

then your gonna have to do it yourself with small buffing wheels on a drill or something - nasty

this forum should help

i cbf lol

i've sanded off 1 rim, most of it... took me about 2 hours by hand! i cant get my fingers between the tight spaces to get em sanded

i'm now thinking of just getting them re-painted in red lol too lazy

without a pic of the wheels, perhaps the sand and scotch brite combination flapper wheels will help sand and polish the lip.

most tool shops should ahve them, and can be used on a drill or preferably on a die grinder
