Re: Stripping wheels
For stripping alloy wheels, any chemical paint stripper from Home Depot will probably work just fine...you have no worries about the stripper soaking into fiberglass.
I used Kleen-Strip KS-3 Premium Stripper in the gold can, and it worked like a charm. I only did the fronts and used less than a quart out of a gallon; use this information to buy what you need. It was kind of wierd when that clear began to wrinkle and bubble up...it looked like packaged tripe I used to see at the market. No...I never had it unless it was mixed into something (menudo?), but some people eat it.Comment
