Acetone ?

Post by rctenracer »

I have used acetone on NYLON rims many times to remove glued tires and it works great. Now the question is will it work on anodized aluminum rims. That I have not tried yet .

Should be ok, but I've never had any cool rims to worry about ruining. :oops: Here's a little info.
