i peeled a good chunk of it by hand and used WD40 to remove the remaining 5%, and they dried onto the rims or something, it looks like permanent marker was drawn on to them.

how do i remove?

 

Time for sand blasting.

 

is that the only way to remove?

 

Did you try more wd40?

 

a whole can, and another can of goo gone... I might just plastidip them again.. I really wanted to rock the stock colour cuz I only had it for like a month before I decided to dip it black lol

 

I have no experience with this stuff, or Plastidip for that matter, but I've read on some forums that this stuff seems to work pretty well. It looks an awful lot like Goo Gone, but that doesn't mean that's what it is.

I've had good luck with 3M Adhesive Remover on body side molding tape, emblem residue, etc... Soak your cloth in whatever you end up using so the dry cloth isn't absorbing the product you are trying to clean the wheels with.


If that still doesn't take it off, I bet a very fine cut Scotch-Brite pad and Goo Gone, Dip Dissolver, or something to help it out would get it off. A 3M 3000 grit Trizact pad should sand out any scratches caused by the pad and you could follow that up with some Meguiars M105 to buff out any hairline scratches.


As a side note, 3000 grit Trizact pads are worth having around anyway since they are practically magic for removing light oxidation from headlights. Just follow up with a couple steps of polish to remove the slight fogginess caused by the Trizact pad. I use Meguiar's M2 followed by Meguiar's M9. Both of them and the Trizact pad can usually be found at O'Reilly's, Advance Auto or any other decent auto parts store.

 

Have you tried any solvent-base thinner?

 

there is a very good chance that you actually ate through the finish
I bought a G with similar wheels and could not figure out what happened to them. It seemed like something was spilled on the wheels and ate through the wheel finish. Now that you posted your pictures, I bet that is exactly what previous owner tried to do to the wheels on my car and ruined the finish.

 

Try acetone. Apply to rag and wipe vigorously.

 

I think you've gone through the finish. Under the hyper silver color there is a layer of black base coat, and it looks like that is what you have showing. Time for a powder coat, or just dip them "True Metallic Aluminum" with a top coat of "Hyper Silver Pearl". I'd just get them powder coated as I'm not a fan of dip.

 

i gotta admit i loled pretty hard
