Removing overspray from powdercoated wheels

[Pnthrblkzs]

Any tips on the best way/products to remove what i presume is overspray from my Powdercoated alloys?

 

I've just had the bumper, bonnet, wings resprayed on my car to remove the stone chips and on inspection of my rear wheels i can now feel a rough finish where the wheels were perfectly smooth before (they were powdercoated in November 2012)

 

I haven't spoken to the bodyshop asking them to sort this yet but to be honest if it is easy enough to do i'd rather sort it myself so i know its done properly without risk of damaging the finish on the wheels.

 

I've googled already for advise and have read of people using polish such as AG SRP and T-Cut, also some people have used thinners to sort it (which scares me a little, lol)??

 

The wheels will be coming off sometime this weekend to fit spacers which will make the clean up easier i guess.

 

All opinions welcomed

 

Thanks, Jon

A good cutting compound should do it, if doing it by hand then you can be a little more agressive too. Try some Megs Ultimate Compound and see where that gets you, if a good ol' fashioned claying doesn't shift it.

Aghh i forgot about claying!! i have a brand new Megs Clay bar kit in my shed from last christmas i can try.

 

All treatment will be by hand so hopefully won't damage the wheels finish then?

Nah, you'd be fine with anything this side of sandpaper really.

That. Try claying first, depending on which clay you've got (and how aggressive it is) it should shift overspray.

Compound will shift it no problem. You can use thinners but nothing too aggressive or you chance dulling the finish. Claying might rid it too but never tried it
