Im in the prosess of redoing my 15" 5 spokes and i now see that some parts of the machined rim part of the wheel has like a darker color than the rest of the machined part. If i use mothers polish to get the stain out can i use a clear coat over it or will it fisheye due to the polish? Will it work if i use something to clean the mothers off after i polish it?

 

it will fisheye for sure. It's a polish......paint won't be able to stick to it. You might try just rubbing some alcohol on the area....that will clean it and make it stick.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking about using alcohol but i didnt think that it would get the stain out but ill give it a shot. It cant hurt anything.

 

if you want it clean before you clear it, you can hit it with some BRAKE cleaner.... (carb cleaner will leave some oils)

 

so youre saying i can use mothers if i clean it with brake cleaner afterwards? or just use the brake cleaner period.

 

im just saying that brake cleaner will clean off the surface of any polish and oils if you were going to paint/clear it.


just dont get any on a painted surface.

 

cool thanks for the info.
