I had them done through Rollies Speed Shop, I am not sure of the products used, but they promised me no yellowing etc. I passed on all the negatives I picked up from here, and was assured it would not happen with the way this guy was doing it. I was told the details, but it was over a year ago now. I can email Rillie and ask. Will come back asap.
Karl, as I recall you said in a thread when this was being done that QWIKSKIN was going to be used. I have a high interest in the product as we are trying to market it here. If it really was, I sure would like to know.
I have so many different products in stock to try that I cannot do them all to figure out which one is the best one.
Please don't ask for samples though, to ship the stuff all over for people to try is not practical for time management specially when the biz has only 2 people in it. try waiting on line as USPS to ship a 4 oz bottle and be charged 6 or 7 bucks on top of that. Does not sound like much but when you get 10 or 12 people asking for samples, they have to be bottled then packed and shipped. Too much hoohoo at this time.
So I have been slowly testing several clear coats to see which one seems to be the best. Nioce when your biz allows this, but it is a lot of work.
So far, polish them with BOMS Away, clean them with laquer thinner when done, and apply CORTEC 386 clear coat. Problem is, it is way too much work to do this, so I stripped the rims with GUNK and a Scotchbrite, reploished them and left them alone. Up to this point I tried 5 or 6 different clear coats, and only the CORTEC 386 seemed to be the one that worked the best....until I degreased the front brake system and discovered that GUNK removes the coating. Was not upset at that fact, but it would have been nice knowing in advance cause I have several other degreasers we sell I could have used that would have not done that.
Oh well, they are stripped and polished and due for a wipe down on the next wash.
