I got some OEM acura wheels recently, they where powder coated white and started to chip. I decided to strip the paint off and leave them original.

Heres the problem, I've used aircraft stripper and a bunch of other products and I still can't seem to get everything off off the wheels. Any suggestions?

Find a local powdercoater. They will have a sandblaster and can blast them and then powder them for you- one stop shopping.

What if he wants to do it himself? Is there a product or technique available to the OP?

Thanks.

I want to get them back to stock just polished aluminum. I think I'll try having my buddy sand blast them with a softer material.

Wet sand them with fine sanding sponge and Super Clean. You're going to have to re-polish them anyway.
