binliner 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 nitromors should take it off then polish either with a polishing kit or the finest wet n dry you can get away with while still removing the imperfections Link to post Share on other sites

Reep0503 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I tried nitromors and couldnt get it to work too well! And do you not have to scrpae it off? Not great if you are wanting to polish after. I used a polishing kit that I bought. Takes a wee while though. But all polishing is giong to. GOt my kit from polishingkitsuk or something original like that. Link to post Share on other sites
crish72 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I used nitromos to remove old laquer, yes you scrape it off but it lifts the laquer and with no effort you can scrape it off without any damage occuring. Makes the job so much easier.Likewise, i then used a polishing kit from the same company.Chris Link to post Share on other sites

SankysVR6 1 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Once you've applied Nitromors put whole wheel in a bin bag, or if you can get hold of any shrink wrap used for pallets wrapping works well.By wrapping it up, it stops the air drying it to quickly. Then unwrap and start scraping it off. I found using a plastic card (i.e. old credit card, Tesco club card) worked very well. Just cut the edge of the card you've been scarping with when it starts to get blunt.Then rinse of with a jet wash and re-apply if it all hasn't come off. Link to post Share on other sites
Focker-out 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Cheers guys looks like i will be buying some nitromors then, didnt fancy trying to wet and dry the laquer on each rim!!Well i will have to split them first and get the centres re painted, hoping to get these done for UDUBS but its not looking too likely Link to post Share on other sites
