Can anyone tell me the easiest way to DIY on a wheel refurb. In 100k they hav'nt been kerbed
. However the polished rims have nearly all flaked off. I'm dont want to pay the refurb costs because i am sure sorting the rims can not be too much work.
thanks
thanks

Firstly get the tyres taken off,then coat the rims with Paint/ lacour remover,each time the paint remover is doing it's stuff,takea stanley type blade and scrape away, repeat untill it's all gone, then i used a stainless steel pan scourer to clean the rim,lean more elbow grease with the metal polish
