Hi Guys,

Just wondering about Acetone, i have never used this before.

Since this winter i have been running 2wd & 4wd so much, found i have used well over 15sets wheels for both cars started to understand why ppl use this stuff due to the costs of wheels nowadays

Just wondered if anyone could tell me how do you use this stuff also if i get 5L of this how long does last?

Just like some advise on it before i try using it, also does it cause any affects to the wheels at all?

First time for me, no longer a virgin!.

Its VERY easy. Cut open tyres and take out foam to reuse. Cut as much rubber off the rim as possible, leaving 5 or 10mm is fine.

Submerge into the acetone and leave for 24hours. Take out and just peel off the remianing rubber.

Acetone disolves the super glue. Leave acetone in the a tub to reuse time after time.

Look on youtube for how to's etc.
