5hane Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 Does anyone know if its safe to use nitromors on old alloy (wheels) ? I want to refurb my 14's and dont really want to be burning/ mealting the alloy on them Cheers
petrolhead Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 I've used it on alloy wheels with no problems mate.
mk3cokebottle Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 i wouldnt if i was you fella cos ally is quite a soft metal , if i was you i would go to the motor factors and get a very mild abrasive soft pad to use for the same job or there is other products such as nitromors which are a bit tamer which you can get from motor factors
Tom Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 I've done it loads of time mate - please please wear goggles though!!!
5hane Posted October 10, 2009 Author Report Posted October 10, 2009 hmm, cheers guys i might try it on the back of one of the spokes on one of the spare wheels, i would use abrasives, but theres some really arquard (spelling) groov's on the wheels, so it would take hours lol, and ive got 5 to do and i dont really want to sandblast them, as couldn't this damage the wheels aswell ? Ta,
davreeve Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 Nitromors worked fine on all the alloys ive used it on . and as a plus point it makes your hands feel kinda strange if you get it on your skin
5hane Posted October 10, 2009 Author Report Posted October 10, 2009 spit and polish I would, but i havent got the money, and am bored of waiting for my wealding to be done lol So i thought i might aswell, polish them up well ive done one wheel, will need another going over but its worked nicely, its too dark to be doing it now so im going to do them tommorow cheers guys
over_head_cam Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 I've done it loads of time mate - please please wear goggles though!!! And don't wear shorts
emu Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 I've done it loads of time mate - please please wear goggles though!!! And don't wear shorts but dont just do it in your pants either
2.8i Cossie Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 you can get an auto version of Nitromors which is specifically for use on alloys. Mate has used it to strip alloys clean in the past
GJUK Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 wear gloves, mask and do it outside in a well ventilated area. It's horrible stuff.
