hey guys...do you have pics of rims after using the AIRCRAFT REMOVER??...like before you went on and painted them??....and is it possible for rims to get POLISHED like CHROME after using it?....show me pics of rims before and after using it please....

thanks guys!!

 

no, you have to polish them. all aircraft remover does is remove paint

 

ok..lets say i remove ALL the paint...i then need to IMMEDIATELY sand them, or else they will rust....right....but how would they look polished (chrome)???

like what materials do i need, and how would i go about BLING BLING'n them??

thanks

 

how would u get it to look BLING BLING? i think that's where the polishing comes in.

 

 

metal polish, some rough steel wool and a polishing pad.

 

i've used this JASCO can for other things..i heard JASCO is good for rims too....but is it THIS exact can....or is it something else?

 

there was a few posts just recently showing some polished out rims after stripping them and they looked fantastic let me check my "recent topics" and see if i still remember where it was

aircraft remover in the can---spray it all over the rim, let sit for 15 mins, wip down then rinse off, then repeat x2 times.

600-800 grit wet sand down the outter walls,lip, and all polished area, make sure u go with the grain, dont do up ,down ,right,left , you will be wet sanding for about 2-3 hours depending on how fast u want them done..lol

gloves cuss the **** burns bad

rags for wiping down the rims

pressure washer to rinse the rims, once u have all the oem paint off and can start to polish them

i used mother's chrome polish /applyed it with a lil buffing dabber, then used a reg towel, once it turns to a black mildo, wipe hard with a microfiber towel, trust me you want the micro fiber, makes them BLING BLING.

And once your done with all of that you get this:





total cost 9.98 for 2 cans of aircraft, 6.99 for 1 jar of jasco, didnt use it much, still works though, and 3.49 for mothers polish
