How to Remove Black Paint Sprayed on Car Rims?

Methods to remove black paint sprayed on car rims: 1. Use gasoline or banana oil, soak a towel with some, and scrub the rim vigorously; 2. If it still cannot be removed, it is safer to go to a store and seek professional help; 3. If it is spray paint, you can try using solvents to wipe it off, such as toluene or xylene, but since these solvents can damage the paint and are also harmful to rubber, you should be careful when handling it yourself. When there are stubborn stains on the rim surface, it is advisable to use a professional cleaning agent, which can often gently and effectively remove the stains while minimizing damage to the aluminum alloy surface. Additionally, the rim itself has a layer of metal protective film, so extra care should be taken not to use paint brighteners or other abrasive materials during cleaning.
Last time I had a sudden whim to spray my rims black, but later thought it looked quite ugly and wanted to remove it. I first tried washing with regular car wash detergent, but it had no effect at all and just wasted water. Later, a friend suggested I buy a special automotive paint remover spray. After spraying, I waited ten minutes for the chemicals to take effect, then wiped with a soft cloth and rinsed with water. This method is simple but requires safety precautions: wear gloves and goggles, avoid inhalation, and don’t let the chemical sit on the rims for too long to prevent corrosion. After removal, I noticed some residual marks, so I manually polished them to restore the shine. Extra care is needed for rims made of materials like aluminum. The total cost was minimal—about 30 yuan for materials—making it suitable for a DIY fix.
