Clearcoat Remover?
 

Having some problems with the clearcoat on my C6 stock alum wheels and was told to use Busch clearcoat remover. Anyone out there have any comments for or against this product??

That's not covered under any warranty?

I will have to check.

sounds like a warentee call to me.

Are the polished aluminum wheels clearcoated? Got a couple dull areas myself.

Yep,And I believe the finish is covered,as long as it's not from Abuse or Harsh chemicals!!:thumbsup:

Here's the follow-up to my original post. Took car to Roger Dean Chev in Cape Coral. They looked at it, took pictures agreed there was a problem. They supposedly contacted GM (yeah right) and came back and said that it was not a defect and therefore not covered. I also dealt with GM custormer service which was also a waste of time. Looks like I am scre_ed like everyone else who has this problem. Go figure.

Try another dealer. If that doesn't work , send a nasty letter to Chevy. I have seen that that works. Food for thought:thumbsup: :rolleyes: :crazy03:

Hello,

I just want to inform you that if you remove the clearcoat on your polished aluminum wheels you will have to keep them polished unless you reclear them. If you just polish the wheels and not reclear them, you can not use any type of wheel cleaner on them. You cant use a low ph ( wheel acid) or a high ph (alkaline) cleaner on them. Use a neutral ph cleaner like a car wash soap or wash n wax. If you do, the wheels will haze up and you will have to polish them again. I polished the wheels on my 86 C4 because the clearcoat was shot when I bought the car. I have around six hours into the wheels, but they look like chrome. You will have a brighter shine without reclearing them, but a little more upkeep. We carry a very effective, easy to use metal polish.www.flashwax.com
