At the minute all i can think of is to wet and dry all 4 of my alloys to get the paint/laquer off etc but obviously i will be there till gone christmas. Is there an eaiser way to do this? like some sort of acid or something?

Nitromorse?

Yeah i know about this stuff but im having to do all of the alloy because there is alot of oxidation - even on the inside lip where the tyre fits.

sand blaster is the easiest way.

or wire wheel on a grinder but be careful with it.

DA = dual action, their sanders, great for doing bodywork

Right i'm getting really bored with these wheels now. Will a heat gun do the trick? I read that they strip paint?
