Rim Strip is Powder Strip’s most powerful liquid paint and powder coat remover. This aggressive blend of methylene chloride and acid additives is engineered for rapid stripping in dip tank systems — especially for the toughest coatings found on European wheels.

Containing methylene chloride and hydrofluoric acid, Wheel Strip is our strongest and fastest-acting formula, ideal for removing fusion-bonded epoxy finishes such as those found on factory BMW wheels. Safe for steel and aluminum, but not recommended for magnesium.

⚠️ Note: Rim Strip does not remove chrome or nickel plating.
