Supplies needed;
badass powerwasher
1 gallon paint stripper that contains methyl chlorine. (You may need to get this at a garage sale, because some states can't sell it anymore.)
1 paintbrush that you can ruin
4 old rotten alloy wheels
time
clear spot for powerwashing and making a mess

Steps;
1. Follow instructions of stripper EXACTLY and spread all over wheels. Its ok to touch the tire.
2. Powerwash after 1/2 hour
3. Touch up with stripper
4. Powerwash
5. BAM! Enjoy!!


This a demonstration of a test area.

I did the same thing on my 99 when I had it. Picked up a set of yellowed/faded PY0s and stripped them. Never re-cleared them just left the raw and polished periodiacally.

I used a brush-on style. Looks like Jello coming out of the container. Definitely a great way to clean up really old wheels. Even better if you have the older "4x4" scribed editions. :)
