Are you losing the will to live when sanding wheels or should i say around all the rivets on wheel's and your tender. Well iv been using one of these things for years on paint work and its just like colouring in and ever one like's doing that.


Just use it like a pen run it around the rivet in place of sand paper or a scuff pad the + side of this is because you are working around the rivet your not taking any more paint of the top of it and so not thinning the paint any more than you need to and you will leave about a 1000 grit finish. Make's the all ready life wishing to end 4 hr rub down on a rear wheel that bit less pain full i thought about telling you all this when trying not to lose the will when rubbing one of my own wheels down to night.

Do you mean you use this after a coat of paint on top of or around the rivet bolts?

I didnt loose the will to live as I hate sanding and prepping so just took the oily ready finished wheels to the local metal finisher and they shot blasted them and either painted or powered them as I requested!!! Easy Smile I did enoy the lining as its not that taxing or laborious and has pretty quick results.
