Mike C Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have this dollar store degreaser that I bought from the advice at a mountain bike forum for a cheap and effective chain degreaser. So today I thought I would give it a try on removing paint from some wheels I painted on my latest build. Here's a picture of the bottle: And it's only a buck!

Mike C Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Here's the wheels, they look like they were never painted. I did take some toothbrush work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Here's the MSDS: http://sds.chemtel.net/webclients/safariland/raw_materials/AwesomeProductsIncorporated_LAsTotallyAwesomeAllPurposeCleanerandDegreasersandSpotRemover_01-10-2011.pdf Is "hydroxy sodium" the same thing as sodium hydroxide (lye)?

randyc Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 If you compare Easy Off's MSDS to this, the CAS number is the same. Easy off has btw 2.5 - 10% Lye, the orange cleaner has .5 - .8%. Quite a difference. But all of the little ingredients probably contribute to the removal of the chrome. But will it cut the lacquer undercoat on the plastic? Hard to tell from the photos. Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't. I've about quite stripping chrome. I mostly dull coat it and paint over from there. Usually ends up with some sort of less chrome metallic finish in many cases. And I don't have to deal with Easy Off. Interestingly, Awesome products took over an old funriture plant here in Mt Airy NC and manufactures here. Among many places I'm sure.
