What is the best way to get clear off?

 

[trainville]

Yeah, c'mon guys... It's winter and I could spend a few hours inside with my dremel tool cleaning/polishing it all up. What's the process?

 

[96GTS]

I used a can of Easy-Off oven cleaner (or try the gel type paint stripper). I've got a '96 and the finish isn't that great no matter how much I polish. I believe it's cast (like the rims), not forged like the rims on the '97 and up. To see if it has a clear coat, get some aluminum polish and try to polish it first. If it turns black, it doesn't have the clear coat. If it does, you have to strip it first.

 

[plumcrazy]

what kinda polishing are we talking about ? whats involved ?

 

[96GTS]

Aluminum polish from Eagle One, Mother's Meguire's or something from a reputable company.

I had my 96 gas cap chromed by someone here on the VCA board (can't remember his name at the moment) and it was sweet. The charge was appx $125 exchanged and to me looks better than the polished cap. Very pleased.
