Clear Coat Damage on Unpainted Wheels

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Swift + and 2004 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Apply the chemical stripper Amchem Alumi Prep No. 23. Use a small 1/4-inch detail brush to apply the stripper around the perimeter and spoke-like areas.
  2. Remove the stripper according to manufacturer's recommendations.
    3. CAUTION: When refinishing an aluminum wheel always remove the wheel from the vehicle. Do not use engine power to rotate the wheel. Failure to follow the instructions as indicated may result in personal injury or damage to the wheel.
    IMPORTANT: After repairing the aluminum or clear coat damage, the wheels must be recoated.
  3. Sand the wheel with 240 grit sandpaper by rotating the wheel on a slow-spinning brake lathe or by mounting the wheel on the car and spinning it by hand. Sanding restores the machined appearance and promotes adhesion.
