Wheel Striping
first a shameless pic of the bike post cleandown.
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/4688/img18767388766.jpg what's the best way to de-stripe the rims? This shit isnt comming off w/ my fingernail, and i decided i didnt want to scar the damn wheels for life (i.e. razorblade isnt going to work either). For my next try, im thinking of going 2 ways. Either get something that will not scratch the rims (i'm thinking an oranbge peeler) and spend 5 hours scraping the shit off and rubbing the glue off, or instituting chemical warfare and seeing if getting some goo-gone or some other solvant may work. Or should i just say F it and cover them up with something else? http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5475/img18776744457.jpg YIKES! |
chem warfare would be my first try. leave the elbow grease for last.

heat gun or hair dryer perhaps....

WD-40 works best on sticker type stuff versus goo-gone but I'd just watch using either on your rims and getting close to your tire.

i use a heat gun and then after the bulk is off, just clean it up with some 3M adhesive remover!
