Sefton-EP91 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 As above, it's very hard work using my hands with wet and dry. Taken me 2.5 hours to do half a wheel Thanks for all suggestions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Nitromors. Mask up the paint you want to keep though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thought this might be the case, I'll get some and see how it goes thanks morgey! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 No worries. Helped a mate do his borbet A's they had like a 4" dish. Soon got it off them then he had to polish them all up haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adzy Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 my mate jacked his van up and had it running in gear for polishing the lips, could try that with fine sandpaper or wet and dry.Just make sure it's well supported on the axle stands Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sefton-EP91 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Got some nitromors in the end cut my time down from 4.5hrs per wheel to 40mins 2 more too do then I'll be fitting them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
