Nitromors to clean up steel rims.
« on: April 13, 2007, 09:57 PM »
Hi all,

  Just started cleaning up my Dyno (See, Newbie first post.............),  anyway the steel rims look tatty as the braking surfaces are chrome and the rest is black.   I have done searches here and the general opinion on stripping paint is to use Nitromors.  Seeing as I haven't used it before I just wanted to check it's use on bike stuff.

  Do I paint/spray it on and leave it or do I need to keep brushing over it and checking when it is doing its job.

  Also, does it damage the metal surface of the rim ?  I'd like to be able to polish it afterwards.

 Many Thanks........Adam

 P.S.  Pre cleanup pics are here  http://www.adboo.com/bmx.htm   I'll post more as work progresses.

no, it only lifts paint.


best bet is to dab it on, leave for 30 min, then power wash it off.
I want to touch ORB

ooooohhhhhhhhhhh powerwashing nitromors, watch your eyes young fella, make sure you have goggles on if your doing that although you may have a problem if there anodised aluminium as i dont think nitromors touches anodising?

Cheers for that guys.

As for wearing goggles, you try doing anything at work without wearing goggles in this day and age !     I'll be doing risk assessments for opening cans of tango next, in case the spray hits someone !

 Just an update, couldn't find Nitromors in my local builders merchants so I bought "Mangers" instead.    It got the paint off beautifully well within the 30mins,  it was coming off while I was brushing it on !

 Anyway the rims now look a lovely chrome finish which will be much better when I have polished and waxed it.

 Don't have my camera here but I'll post more shots to my site when I get the chance.
