phish27134 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I recently purchased a 2007 Spec B, which when I received it, the rims were very thinly plasti dipped, so I used goo-off and a pressure washer and it seemingly came off with ease. Little did I know that there now is a permanent residue and remaining what looks like over spray or residual plastic dip on the rims. I've used goo off, and at-least 5 other clear coat safe wheel cleaners and a polish to no avail. Include in this post are pictures of the residue & streaks. I'm not sure if the rims were pitted prior to the plasti dip. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. https://imgur.com/t1HuM6D https://imgur.com/eFEu44A https://imgur.com/6BFH3xk https://imgur.com/28DPsxO https://imgur.com/8ZSA6gK https://imgur.com/gilX9Eb https://imgur.com/smyhqKG https://imgur.com/ir3mPKz[ Edited August 5, 2019 by phish27134 Tired to upload links to pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phish27134 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) To keep the same look? Or to have em painted? Sorry missed the refinish part, what would that run? Edited August 7, 2019 by phish27134 Forgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phish27134 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 I called a Wheel Shop that specializes in wheel repair and re painting/powder coating. They said that prior to the plasti dip they were painted with Hyper Silver and that is what is the cause of the streaks. In order to have them re-finished they would sand them down, powder coat them black then apply Hyper Silver coats depending on what type of finish I wanted.
