Re: I think I screwed up my wheels...

I use these chemicals DTails , you dummy I showed you at my shop remember. I use acid on painted rims however I use different dilution ratios for different applications. This makes the acid less agressive but I have made the mistake of using to strong of a mixture and it gets under the clear coating and stains the polished metal underneath , very nasty and hard to reverse. I made the mistake on spraying straight hydroforic on polished rims and they turned splotchy black and grey. It took me 3 hours to repolish these rims but after I was done it was well worth it cus for 3 years they havent lost there luster and dont seem to require repolishing like they used to.
When I made the same mistake with painted rims it was alot easier to fix than the polished rims by simply using a finishing compound and a auto paint conditioner.
