Removing overspray on chrome rims

[waldogt07]

Ok i have used paint thinner and it's not working......what is the best thing to use to remove the overspray from my rims.......there has to be something that will make it come off easier

Use some quality #0000 steel wool. If it comes out hazy, repolish with metal polish.

I'd soak it in brake fluid; just don't get brake fluid anywhere else

So just use the finest steel wool that i can find????.....will this scratch the chrome surface???.....i know u can use this on glass and not have any scratches.....just didn't know ifit would be different on the chrome......cause i don't want to ruin the rims as i want to either sell or trade them

If the wheels are chrome, the only thing that will scratch the surface is impurities in the steel wool itself. That's why you don't buy the cheap stuff. This is how you buff the chrome on million dollar cars so it ought to be ok for some wheels.

Now, if the wheels are polished or anodized aluminum, the steel wool will absolutely trash them.

If you're unsure, then test polish a small inconspicuous area.
