Any easy way to get clear coat off rims?

Turps, thinners, soapy water?

Please :D

Looks like it's time to have your 'thingy' changed from 'Razzle Dazzle!' to 'Wow. That's cool!' :D

you could use some wet 1200 paper, then use 2000 wet and polish them up. You could also try thinners, but be very careful as you don't want to strip away any colour from the centre of the rim. Then go over it with the wet paper/s to make sure all of the clear coats gone, then polish to your little hearts content.

I removed the clearcoat easily using the brush-on paint stripper and then hosing it off. A high pressure cleaner would also be handy to wash off the paint stripper. No scrubbing required ! :D

or there is that way, remember to wash down the rim with soapy water to neutalise the acidity.

Paint stripper works well.
