How to remove clearcoat from wheels?
Unfortunately my new Iforged wheels are losing all their clearcoat from the center of the wheel out. They are a high polish underneath and I think I'm better off with no clearcoat and just keep them polished. To avoid the hassle and expense of sending them back to Iforged is the anything that will take the clearcoat off without damaging the high polish finish? Apparently Iforged does not warranty clearcoat peeling if it starts from the center of the wheel anyhow.
Thanks!
Thanks!

that seems like quite a scam, why wouldn't they warranty if they start in the middle? i would say shot-pean them with glass to remove the clearcoat but i am not sure if that would affect the polished aluminum below. ur best bet would be to contact a rim repair shop in your area and have them chemically strip the CC.
if it were me though i would definitely cause some serious **** over at iForged. those asses seem to get away with far too much, ***** and complain ALOT, hopefully they'll fix your problem. and when i say alot, i mean call EVERYDAY. don't be afraid to demand your rights, don't be embarrased just nag them and threaten to call the BBB or ruin their name on the internet.
hope you have some luck!!!
