dredogol Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hello all, I recently bought some VRT and used some again last night on my tires. I accidentally dropped a little onto my alloy wheels, and now it's on there like glue. I tried using my waterless wash cleaner on it, could not get it off. Tried really warm/hot water, no luck. Anyone got a good way to possibly get this off? I don't want to use IPA because i know it'll dehydrate my clear coat. I'm almost wanting to use a clay bar to see if that will get it off. Ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ls1transam Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Was the wheel hot? I've gotten VRT on all types of wheels, just the outer edge while I was applying it and it comes off very easy? Try using clay bar. Or a properly diluted IPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten VRT on all types of wheels, just the outer edge while I was applying it and it comes off very easy? Try using clay bar. Or a properly diluted IPA Well, this isn't good. I first tried clay bar... NG! Then I tried IPA... NG! Wow... how can this stuff stick literally like glue! Help... any ideas what else I can try to get this stuff off my aluminum clear-coat rims?

0 PacificNWBuckeye Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Some Adam's All Purpose Cleaner should cut right through it, Wheel Cleaner if that doesn't work. I've never had it get stuck like that. You will need to reapply and wax or sealant as either step above will remove the protection.

0 Mariner Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Is there a glob on the wheel or a stain outline where a glob was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 avimore Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Do you have any pics? Never had this issue but the only reason I can think of is if you applied it while the wheel was hot? As suggested above, I would try APC or Wheel Cleaner and then re-apply protection. Norton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 1911A1 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I gotta see a pic of this one...makes no sense at all to me. Same here,never heard of this before.VRT should clean off very easily even the next day. Is there any chance that what you're dealing with could be something else that got on the rim?
