bodgemonkey Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Pure acetone bath overnight will do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 oven pride will dissolve the chrome coating and won't melt the plastic. acetone can melt certain plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyleftthumb Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 i use oven cleaner, some cheapo one which is tested on animals and contains lots of harmful chemicals. works and treat. best idea. is a sealable tupperwear tub, squirt some in chuck the wheels in and then fill the tub with cleaner foam and then seal itup. depending on how wheel they are chromed depends how long.
