Bruce Poage Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 What are the current thought, methods of stripping chrome from headers, rims, etc. I have used oven cleaner but would like to find something not quite so caustic. Thanks.
martinfan5 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I have started using bleech, and it depends on the chrome plating, but I have had the chrome off within hours
Longbox55 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Superclean works very well. Most of the time, it'll take the chrome off within a few minuits. Simple Green also works, but not near as fast.
oldnslow Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I use Walmart brand Purple Power cleaner, $6 or $7 a gallon in the automotive section. Chrome is gone in about 30 minutes, stripped clean overnight.
martinfan5 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I was using the purple stuff, but I found that it work good on some kit chrome, and not so much on others.
Kit Basher Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Some guys say it doesn't work for them, but I've had great success with Westley's Bleche Wite. Everything I've tried has been clean and ready to go in 15-20 minutes.
