Easy De-Chrome
If you want your tires to stick securely to chrome rims, you must thoroughly remove the rims’ shiny surfaces (unless you have the latest Pro-Line chrome rims). Use an eye dropper or a rolled scrap of Lexan to funnel a little lacquer thinner around the rim. This will soften the chrome plating enough for you to wipe it away. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area. |
