inside the wheel it says "these wheels have a new revolutionary finish on them " then in bold "THIS IS NOT CHROME" i bought some like this ruined and didn't know i thought they has ledt over paint i was tryna take black off but it was the "CHROME/platinum" falling off under was black powder coat so thats a plus. anyway ended up using oven cleaner to strip the rest of it off and they looked amazing afterwards super high gloss black power coat under that cheap "CHROME" finish. sold them for triple what i paid lol
😂😂😂 if only I could read!!!! Lol they aren’t bad wheels I don’t understand why XXR gets a bad rep. I’m guessing it’s the same thing as Jordan’s and Sketchers lol. We just know better for next time. 💪🏽💪🏽
@@mauris9111 let is sit on the (chrome finish) for about 20-30 minutes you will see the finish peeling then hose it off.. it may take 2 or 3 coats but it will strip that fake chrome coating off..NOTE: dollar tree oven cleaner doesn't work i used oven cleaner from walmart (knock off brand)
Unorthodox Garage If I understand that you were put like that, but it was because of the cleaning spray or clean them with the traditional method. I want to say if the paint on the rim is of quality.
Real Chrome is kinda rare these days as its a metal coating, (EPA has a lot to do with this ) applied in a plating process, these are not "chrome" I own a set of these its like a paint coating.
I own a set of 531's, bought them brand new, the instructions that come with them explain, they arent "chrome", they also had a sticker on the inside section under the tire which also stated they are a new process called Platinum, I'd assume this is a "water chroming" process which is also here on youtube if you choose to look it up, I did ask XXR when my warranty was discuss, they chose not to answer. Real Chrome plating involves procedures the EPA has cracked down on, also most new vehicles have very little real chrome anymore, not a high demand process anymore, I will add I also had an issue with the coating which XXR took care of under warranty, they have a year warranty against peeling, do not use a buffer with even a foam pad and regular compound on this coating, waxing is fine. XXR is a great wheel for the money. Ive had mine about a year and a half now.
Yeah it says for polished Wheels. The wheels are really they're polished but they have a clear coating on top of them that stuff is just for polished Wheels only . I said sucks I don't use any wheel cleaner on my wheels anymore
what I know is the black stuff is put on at factory right off the line to protect it from rust and wear. they do this to mechanical gears. not sure if it is done to platinum or not but that's what I know. have you found out what it was? if not check that out
Yeah I had I had Colorado custom wheels and they built aluminum with platinum over the top of them with a clear coat . I did that wheel tire cleaner and they went from shiny to dull .
I mean why would you want to use anything else other than soap and water? It sould clean the wheel pretty well . Then just go over it with quick detail shiny safe on paints
That sucks man!!! Side note, I'd bet money it's not platinum. They call it platinum, but I'm going with not a chance in hell that it's platinum. Chrome would be way less expensive than platimun coating. Platinum is INSANELY EXPENSIVE, historically quite a bit more than gold, that is, until recently which is strange. Might want to invest in platinum. XXR just calls it platinum.
I know what you did your wheels weren't coated with the clear coat and you sprayed the acid on and it ate The Shining off the rims I've done that before by accident . It's sad cuz the wheels were like $2,500
I had just read online that they weren’t chrome and were actually platinum colored. I personally haven’t the slightest idea. I’m thankful these are 300$ rims. But 2,500$???? I definitely would have shed a tear or two lol
duuude that sucks im sorry for you!! happened to my aluminum wheels, destroyed the clear coat because i got the wrong cleaner, i use soap and water now...
Yep this shit happen to me too. Totally ruin my wheels. My look worst than yours lol, my got some long black mark (very visible) and black spot. The clear coat was coming off. I tried to compound/polish a test spot but it end up removing the top coat and revealing the black spot (quickly stop doing it). End up plasti dipping them. U can see it on my video (I didn't really focus on the black spot).
Shit man, I did the same thing a long time ago ! My wheels where Polished aluminum with clear coat. I didn't know it was clear coated and sprayed them with aluminum wheels cleaner and the rest is history.
Bros the fucking tree 🌲 😂😂😂😂😂

hi, how did you use the oven cleaner to remove the platinum coating?

They’re chrome paint and clear coat. Cleaning would be the same as any painted wheel. Sorry you went through this.
Bro I ruined the fuck out my rims not knowing they wasn’t chrome…
How did you prep them to get painted?
Yeah I learned this with my buddy’s car. Brake oil started eating the “chrome” off the wheels. Use just regular soap nothing hard.
Ok I understand that you have damaged your tires, but do you think that if you clean them with soap and water, the paint is of good quality?
Nah man. Mine literally flakes off and then it was this weird honey mustard yellow color. So I had to repaint them myself.

The attack of the branch lol
hahaha that part made me laugh so hard xD
christie lenox lmfao
Mike H same
the black stuff is underneath the platinum coating.
One Person so the platinum is just gone? Is there anything I could do about it?

what wheels do you have and what did you use ?
Yeah I had I had Colorado custom wheels and they built aluminum with platinum over the top of them with a clear coat . I did that wheel tire cleaner and they went from shiny to dull .
Colin Stienke water and soap for me now
Unorthodox Garage ya hear you on that . I just use water an soap also might use an micro fiber towel on the rims . An old one .
Yea brake dust is damn near impossible to get out of the microfiber towels.
I mean why would you want to use anything else other than soap and water? It sould clean the wheel pretty well . Then just go over it with quick detail shiny safe on paints
Im so weak at the tree branch

Oh it’s definitely not platinum. I should have been more specific. I mean platinum colored coating lmao
Just paint them and call it a day... save up for some good wheels!
Yea this is from a while ago. The car itself it completely different now.
I know what you did your wheels weren't coated with the clear coat and you sprayed the acid on and it ate The Shining off the rims I've done that before by accident . It's sad cuz the wheels were like $2,500
I had just read online that they weren’t chrome and were actually platinum colored. I personally haven’t the slightest idea. I’m thankful these are 300$ rims. But 2,500$???? I definitely would have shed a tear or two lol
And THIS is why you buy PH balanced wheel cleaner so you don't have to worry about stiff like this...
There’s a difference between polished and Crome
Saludos tengo los mismos rines y me pasó lo mismo 😭me los dañaron en el car wash y ahora tengo que pintarlos de otro color
Let me guess, meguiars all chrome cleaner
Bingo! It’s my fault though
Thanks for this video, very informative. I was thinking of using metal polish on my xxr 521 and I'm glad I saw this.
No problem man!
Check with a wheel restoration company.
I was wondering why you kept saying chrome.
duuude that sucks im sorry for you!! happened to my aluminum wheels, destroyed the clear coat because i got the wrong cleaner, i use soap and water now...
MACH 10 Garage yea my heart still hurts a little lol but I'm probably going to end up sanding them down and going gold or gunmetal grey with them.
I'm gonna do mine gunmetal as well !
MACH 10 Garage which car is getting it?
The stage 2 jetta haha , I just lowered it 4 inches , I didn't make a video because of how busy I was but yeah it looks sick
MACH 10 Garage I need to see that. I just saw a mk4 the other day with 10" wide wheels on it it was pretty sick.
The moment the tree branch tells him to shut the F up !!!! 😂
