I have tried using goo gone, goo gone 2, break clean and hogwash carb cleaner, nothing seems to take this yellowish/blackish adhesive/gunk off the rims, in certain places I can see the finish behind the gunk... Attached are a couple pics

 

holy resize batman.

Anyway what the hell is that anywa?


Try a puddy knife or something?

 

Geez, where do you live?
My guess is Simple Green, its powerful, and 3 bucks. If ALL else fails, be cautions, try airplane stripper, its a super powerful cleaner, more than a degreaser.

 

live in chicago lol, btw where can i get aircraft stripper

 

for a minute there i thought this was the best macro picture thread...

those rims look like hell.. goto a autoparts store and ask for the stripper. Thats where i got my stripper, she worked wonders.

 

my stripper will never work on her car, always flirts with other guys, but is hot as hell!!!!

 

Are you sure that's not pitting / corrosion? I can't tell because the pics are so big.

Did you try bleech white wheel cleaner? It works as good as break cleaner, but less harsh. Let that **** sit on for a looong time before scraping / washing off. The aircraft stripper will take the finish / clearcoat off of your rims though, so you may want that to be a last resort.

 

does it go ALL the way around the rim
or is it just a lil area, it might just be were the weight was, and corroded.

WIRE WHEELS TIME

 

Holy grinding wheel batman... what the **** is that from?

 

try some rubbing alcohol or maybe a 50/50 hydrogen peroxide and bleach combination. I can't tell by the pics but it almost looks like some of your finish has been eaten away.

 

I was going to say aircraft stripper too.... I've seen it at Wal-Mart in the automotive section (next to paint strippers).

That stuff will take anything off anything, haha.

 

I have heard of people going to a truck wash and getting there rims washed in an acid based material. On my friends Sebring it worked wonders

 

yeah.. but before you spray that on the wheel.. take the wheel off the car first.. otherwise you're risking your fender and quarterpanel's to get a good "strip-tease" too..

 

I found out when I went to get a new tire that the rims cracked on the inside, so I guess im gonna try to find a new Rim. I need a Rage Race 10 Wheel, if anyone knows where I can find one drop me a line!

 

AutoZone has aircraft remover

 

holy crap.. that looks gross... good luck with getting it off.
