Removing clear coat from LTZ rims Gerraldfarms

[@thegrither2811]

Just got a 2014 silverado and the wheels are peeling and cracking. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the video!

GREAT!!! You can use Mother's, Flitz, Blue Magic, White Diamond, or other polishes. I just did the forged aluminum rims on my 2006 2500 Silverado HD. I applied a ceramic coating after I finished with the polishing of the aluminum. No need to respray clear coat paint with the ceramic coating, but it could be an option if you want to back to original appearance. If your vehicle is used in a high road salt area (particularly the brine spray), it will quickly ruin the clear coat on your wheels. Eats right through the paint and turns aluminum white. You can also apply the polish with 0000 steel wool for those tough areas.

Great job they did on the rims Jacky. I have used Mothers Polish before, worked real nice.. Thanks for sharing.

[@GerraldFarms]

Are these the polished aluminum ones that came standard and don’t look polished at all or the chrome ones you could buy for a bit more that are just dirty

[@GerraldFarms]

@@ChristisnRowe they were aluminum with clear coat. The stripper removes the clear coat.

That turned out awesome thank you for the great trick 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice video , I have the same rims on my avalanche and have some bad spot and I'll do the same thing ,, thank you for sharing this helpfull video 👍👍

[@GerraldFarms]

Im glad it helped. Have a good one

[@soysaucebtw6108]

tried this and the kwik stripper keeps getting stuck on the wheel, tried a putty knife and even a pressure washer. any suggestions on how to get the rest of it to come off. maybe a heavier coating of different stripper?

[@GerraldFarms]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m not sure. It cleaned his right off. Maybe try a heavier coat and let it set 5/7 minutes.

[@gordonbright7106]

Those fellas really put a shine on those rims now they can ready to go mud slinging lol. Take care Jacky

Did y’all spray the center caps as well or did you get aftermarket ones ?

[@GerraldFarms]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m not sure but I think someone ask that question before. Look back thru the comments. If I see my son to ask I’ll comment again.

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Nicely done 👍

[@GerraldFarms]

[@erick516]

Do you recommend putting a fresh coat of clear back on it? To prevent corrosion

[@GerraldFarms]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m not sure it would stick to it after you polish it. Have a good one

[@ryanrollenhagen1832]

Did they look grey in the beginning I’m going to buy some but they look grey wonder if I can do the same thing

[@GerraldFarms]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m really not sure if they make several different finishes on them. Have a good one

[@steve219big]

How about the center cap. Is it coated too? Or does it shine with the Mothers ? Thanks for sharing I’ve been want to try this on the same wheels.

[@GerraldFarms]

Be careful with the center caps the shiny coating will come off if you get to aggressive. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a good week

[@steve219big]

Gerrald Farms does the center cap have a costing on them. Or do I need just to polish. I wasn’t sure if the stripper would harm the plastic cap. Sorry i’m asking so many questions, but I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

[@GerraldFarms]

I’ll ask my son when he gets home latter this afternoon as reply again.

[@GerraldFarms]

My son said there is no clear on the center caps. Just polish them

[@steve219big]

Gerrald Farms ok thanks so much.

[@porkchop10]

Luckily, the clear coat on my same 2008 wheels is still intact. Hoping some polishing compound gives me similar results. But I know what I'll be doing should it ever start to peel

[@GerraldFarms]

Thanks for watching and commenting. His still look good. Have a good weekend

[@bluewasp100]

You can polish all you want.untill you remove the clear,,you can't polish them

[@porkchop10]

@@bluewasp100 true, but I can get imbedded stuff out of the clear coat and maybe make them a little better. I know they'll never get chrome shiny.

[@suelolifechuy8970]

I have some 2016 Texas edition one wheel is clear coat is messed up will this work?

Most chrome is uncoated, so nothing to remove. Just need the right polish for it
