ChargerMatt Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 would say APC. is the first pic post glaze? Yes it is. I'm going to spend Saturday cleaning it, so hopefully I can restore it back to normal... gonna get that powerball thing made by the competitor to help the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR6speed Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I am assuming that the gray area was not a smooth painted surface and that is the issue. I agree that All Purpose cleaner should get the glaze off, but I would do a 50/50 mix and try it in a small area first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Glaze is for shiny surface, not a good idea to apply to that textured matte area. Try cleaning with APC like suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I figured that out now. I got suggestions to use it in a previous thread and I was hesitant. I tried cleaning it off with some detail spray right after it and it pretty much just masked it until my next wash which was about a week ago. Hopefully the APC will work because I want to sell these guys during the winter :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the APC will work because I want to sell these guys during the winter :S No worries... we all make the occasional mistake, this looks 100% fixable. Keep us posted on how the APC works for you. If it doesn't completely remedy the problem the next step would hand rubbing them down with a little SSR. My brothers satin finish wheels had some staining from chemicals at a car wash. Rubbing the area out by hand with a mf towel and SSR cleared them up, but it was a lot of work.

I'm going to put my winter wheels on Saturday so I have the ability to work on it off the car. Thanks again - APC then SSR if that fails.

Team Adam's Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 And remember to test first (with anything) before going hog wild... try the APC at half strength to start in a small area and see what kind of results you get. Increase the ratio as needed. Same goes for the SSR if you need to go there. Test a spot to make sure the results are what you want before hitting the whole wheel.

ChargerMatt Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 The APC worked good combined with the cone drill attachment worked wonders, they shine more than I can remember they actually shined lol. I got them for sale in the garage sale section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
