Well...long story short, I used this armor-all crap on my wheels to clean them and it did a nice job of taking the paint off. Pissed because my rash free rims look like crap now(pics later).

I explored my options and new rims aren't in the budget right now, so....anyone have a sterlist mist with painted stock 17" wheels or any maxima with painted 17"s

 

damn, that sux man

painting is easy
u can do it with the tire on
get a bunch of index cards and stick em in the crease between rim and tire
then spray

2 coats primer
3 coats color
2 coats clear coat

in that order and it should b good

 

here is a link for curb rash repair: http://www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/w...uff-repair.htm
i also have an article for re-painting the whole rim. shoot me a pm with your email addy, and i can send you the file.

 

Hey Chr0nos...could you send me the article to paint the rim too.
Thanks. hiridaz@yahoo.com

 

dam sorry to hear that man. Are all the wheels fu*ked up? try ebay and purchase one wheel, the 00-01 wheels usualyl sell cheap. So this might help with ur low budget.

 

the damage...these wheels have just been cleaned



the clupret...even applied to cool wheels.

 

I'd at least return it and get your money back... send armor-all an email or a letter demanding reparations. See how well they're "100% satisfaction guarantee" holds up to disgruntled customers. Document everything!

 

it sez on the back dont use on certain aplications.its better to just use a soap water mix..or some type of non abrasive degreaser

 

it's a wheel cleaner... what other applications would anyone use it for... and if not for the wheel, what else COULD you use it for?
