Alloy wheels with coating faults are often stripped using concentrated sulphuric acid. However, the aggressive liquid can penetrate into the microstructure of the metal and have a negative impact on the quality of the subsequent coating. By contrast, a gentle coating removal process causes much less damage to the substrate.
