  Posted by Derek Heron on 29 August 2007 at 09:08

  Hi all
  customer just dropped his plastic wheel cover off black.
  a quick wipe with isoprop and its now got big white streaks
  cant get rid of them the cloth is turning black.
  have ordered a new one
  any ideas what to use to degrease before applying vinyl looks like isoprop is too aggresive would meths be ok

  That’s odd, we always isoprop with our covers and never have any problems. Must be manufactured out of a softer material.

  Man that would suck!
  I think I’d try Rapid Prep, made by Rapid Tac.
  I hate those damn tire covers. They are a pain to paint or to apply vinyl onto.
  Love….Jill
