Clear Coat Damage on Unpainted Wheels

1. Apply chemical stripper. Use small 1/4 inch detail brush dipped in stripper to apply material around perimeter and spoke-like areas.
2. Remove stripper following manufacturer's recommendation.

CAUTION: Do not use engine power to rotate wheel while sanding to avoid serious personal injury.

3. Sand wheel with 240 grit while rotating wheel on a slow spinning brake lathe, or by mounting on vehicle and spinning by hand. This will restore the machined appearance and promote adhesion.
4. Do "RECOATING PROCEDURE."
