Best way of getting this off?

[leeds_182]

The previous owner of these team dynamics pro race decided to run with no brake pads for a while and as a result this happened;

Any reccomend me a reasonably safe way of getting this stuff off? I've been working at it with the abrasive bit of a kitchen sponge but its taken me nearly an hour to get to this stage;

Lol

Iron Cut.

Actually Id go get some of that Wonder wheels (The one thats red in color) that removes fallout.

Lots of it.

Id rather get those refurbed though.

IronX. Multiple hits.

 

[leeds_182]

I've used tardis and its not really making in any better!

 

[terryc101]

Lots of iron x as above.

 

[Cliotoby]

Tardis is for tar. You need fallout remover like Iron X

Actually, this is a good shout. Buy Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels from Morrisons for £4.

Shed load of cillet bang?

One of my customers had a seized rear caliper which did the same.

multiple hits of iron x (a whole litre was used and whilst it was massively improved didnt make it mint

i would suggest maybe acid first then iron x, if not its refurb time

 

[Detail Chris]

Oh and don't use a scouring pad man! It will proper f**k them up

 

[leeds_182]

It wasn't a bristle style pad and polished up alright as you can see in the pictures.

Iron x it is then!

On a wheel like that I'd reach straight for an acid based wheel cleaner. I wouldn't waste my money using iron x as would need multiple attempts.

Just be warned that acidic wheel cleaners can / will cause damage to the paint if the finish isnt in good condition, ie curbed etc. don't leave it on too long or let it dry and rinse very thoroughly

serious now coca cola works wonders if u can soak it in overnight . dont know how tough this will be though but worth a shot surely ?

Just bought some s**t off amazon so ill give it a try.

As mentioned, I'd be hitting that with some acid. Don't scrub/agitate it though, as you'll scratch the fcuk out of the wheels.

​(Did you still want that DA mate?)

Thanks, I ordered some acid based shizzle so will try that.

As for the Da, are kid actually had one so have been using that and there seems to have been an improvement.....slightly but thanks for the offer.

 

[leeds_182]

Smashed a load of this stuff on and Seemed to sort it out;

Ended up like this;

 

[Clart]

still a fair bit in the corners.

Yeah, this was just a quick blast. I'm sure with a bit more effort ill be able to sort out the other bits.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Get them finished and polished up and seal them properly, and never have to use more than shampoo to remove anything.

 

[Gally]

The wheels also look matte black now. Well played.

 

[Rob]

You've angered the polish monkeys, LOL! <3

 

[Yellow Dave]

Not as matte as when he attacked them with the scouring pad in the first pictures!

LOL first thing I thought when I saw it.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Who wants gloss black wheels anyway Matte black or greys for the win

 

[leeds_182]

I knew I should have used the cotton buds and feather duster.

Its still an improvement on rust and like I said was a quick blast so still room for improvement.

At least you got the stuff off...

 

[leeds_182]

Bit of polish and it's reeet.....
