Re: Cleaning talon rim lip. (pic enclosed)

We used a rag dipped in brake fluid to get the big stuff off and then used a scotch-brite pad to get the smaller stuff smoothed out. Then polished it. Then clearcoated the lip. Takes some time but is well worth it in the end. We did this on a buddy of mines rims on his Fiero the night before a car show.

Just make sure you wear gloves when working with the brake fluid and don't get any on any other painted part that you don't want to have to repaint.
