remove chrome off rims

can anyone help looking for easy and safe way to remove chrome off rims,the chrome on rims is wrinkly.

There is no easy or safe way! Try Easy off Oven cleaner (caustic only) or soak them in a tub of Brake Fluid. Remember to wear eye and Hand protection with either product!!

will give oven cleaner ago,but this time will wear gloves,me had sore hands for day after last time.

I thought everyone knew that one...

I use bleach or degreaser not spay can stuff the liquid,supercheap have a degreaser from chemtech works great on chrome.

Don't overlook good old coke! Full fat, I dont know if diet coke works, just soak the parts in it, no worries if you spill it or get it on your hands. This is slower than the other processes however, it can take over 24 hours, or as little as 3-4 hours.

A BIG THANKS to all for your help with removeing chrome off rims,me have to say that I have never needed to remove chrome before,thanks again.

All depends on what flavour you want your parts to smell like Arthur!

Does bleach do anything to skin?


With any prolonged use of bleach (diluted or undiluted) for any extended period, it is advised to use gloves, even for people without sensitive skin. This is largely to avoid making the hands smell, but prolonged or frequent exposure to bleach will also dry out the skin, which can result in irritation.

What safety directions should I follow when using a bleach-based product?


Always ensure adequate ventilation and do not mix with detergents or other chemicals, especially ammonia or any product containing ammonia. The fumes are toxic and can make you very sick in a very short period of time. If you're in doubt, don't mix any product with bleach. And always follow packaging directions.
Wash hands immediately after use, store White King products at or below 25^oC and always follow the directions on the packaging.

thanks again to all for the help in removeing chrome.
