Anyone know of any way to remove the Hard Ano off them. Apart from taking then to a plater to remove it.

I've tried:

Media Blasting. Will work but just worried its a bit harsh

Oven Pride.........pointless

Can't you shine side them with some wet n dry and leave the inside of the rim hard ano ?

Yep anno is flaking, and some goon has started to remove the anno and given up so they look a complete pig.....at the moment

Oven pride worked fine with mine, came off easy and have now polished up great

Peter J · « **Reply #4 on:** January 26, 2009, 09:45 PM »

How long did you leave it in the bag for ?

Daletsunami · « **Reply #5 on:** January 26, 2009, 09:49 PM »

Was about 10 mins each rim, but constantly kept them turning in the thick of the oven pride and using my thumbs to rub it in.

Peter J · « **Reply #6 on:** January 26, 2009, 09:49 PM »

Ok I'll give that another bash.....

Peter J · « **Reply #7 on:** January 26, 2009, 10:05 PM »

Just tried the oven pride again and no joy................think they might be chrome plated $:-\$

TBH its hard to tell..................think I'll take it to a plater to find out

Try some gasket remover, spray it on and give them a little scrub with a tooth brush, i used my wife's

sawzall · « **Reply #9 on:** January 27, 2009, 05:55 PM »

i used caustic soda,they took about half an hour but keep checking every couple of mins,i also used a scotch brite pad to help remove it,the hard anno is a real bitch to remove

I had a real bad time with my Pro cass 3's

Oven brite in the bag

kept going back to them every 10 mins for about 40 mins , nothing happening hardly

so left them for about another 40 mins , patchy as hell still ano on in parts and just started to pit away at the rims
,,, gutted to say the least as these rims only had minimal brake rub on the rear only and front was like NOS

I'd advise you to agitate it as much as possible wih a brillo or equivelant
rather than let any type of acid do the work as the coating really is unbelievably hard on the Pro class 3 's $:-\$

hunterdubber · « **Reply #13 on:** January 27, 2009, 08:35 PM »

Normal anno comes off in upto 15 mins

this stuff doesn't

Peter J · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2009, 02:22 PM »

Ok chaps...........I'll give it another bash............oven pride bag here I come !!!!!!!

120 minuted in the costic and the y will be proclass superlite 1 1/8 sideless. be carefull with the stuff and do it outdoors. 5 mintues tops or they will get melted. works every time though.

Peter J · « **Reply #22 on:** January 29, 2009, 06:30 PM »

No not tried the Caustic approach

I'll give it a bash at the weekend...

I took them into work today and started media blasting.......................bugger that it will take forever !!!

If your not totally sure i would have a word with paul or mark at cca. It seems they were withdrawing there services just before christmas. They may have reconsidered from what i gather now.
I went over to take some stuff a few month ago and paul showd us the whole set up. We got talking about possibilites. Hard anno in particular, he said hard anno is a lot more resistant to wear than normal which is why your haveing trouble. Seems it actually strengthens the item which is probably why they started using it on the proclass

No joy with the caustic......

Looks like a trip to the platers
