Idk if anyone knows this but it's a lot easier than sanding. The gold on a wheel comes off very easy with coil cleaner/ aluminum brightner. Here is about 2 minutes after spraying.175945175945175945175945

nice... I used oven cleaner but you have to use caution with it, after someone stripping my gold wheels and didnt finish them. I finally got them polished....

i used a 6 inch buffing wheel i welded on a bolt so it could be used on a electric drill

Somehow these wheels have rust on them but other than that the wheel came out good so far jus need to sand down the dong and scratches in the wheel wet sand a little where the rust is stuck to it and polish the hell out of it. Your wheel came out great!

Yeah, I would not recommend sanding your dong.

"The Works" Toilet bowl cleaner has acid in it that will strip the anodizing. Wear a mask and don't spill it on concrete (or your dong).
$1.50 per bottle at walmart

Let me get this straight: You're turning gold wheels into silver wheels? Why don't you just go ride a four wheeler if you want to look like everyone else anyways...

Don't cry lol this wheel was damaged beyond repair (and keep the gold finish) after sanding all the "dongs" and scratches it would have been silver spots everywhere.

Hopefully my dong doesn't get hurt when I do this to my front wheel! An injured dong is a useless dong!
