One time I got Chassis saver all over my hands and arms and could not get it off, went to work and got in trouble for looking dirty. Went home with a bottle of that aircraft stripper and jumped in the shower to get to work. lathered my hands and arms all up with that nasty **** and it was getting the paint off real well. Until it started dripping down to my man bits and getting uncomfortable. Damn stuff nearly pealed layer of the old trouser snake and I ain't got much I can afford to lose. Lesson learned do not get that stuff anywhere sensitive.
Wow I can't even imagine doing that after working with that caustic stuff for 4 decades!
When you get a dollop on... lets say your arm.
That spot gets cold first then it starts to burn then keeps getting hotter!
Could have been worse,
just think of the attention you'd have gotten from all the smiling nurses at the ER

Wait a minute, I think I just realized these wheels are plasti dipped. I was reading something that says if it flakes with a finger nail it is dipped. That is exactly what mine does. This might be easier than I thought
Edit: Now I'm getting mixed reviews online about that lol I wish that guy sent me the can of whatever he used so I would know what it was. I only asked him about 5 times.

I should have punched him in the face when I went to his house and screamed louder. Nah but he had some sweet billets on his green crew cab replacing these wheels. Good looking truck.

Been there done that...
When I was 12 a neighbor had given me a surplus WWII pineapple hand grenade. I put the heavy grenade in a athletic sock and was swinging it around and around letting it go seeing how deep it would land in the backyard grass. The sun got in my eyes... the next thing I knew I awoke in the ER! My room kept getting Dr's & Nurses wanting to see the boy that survived getting hit with a grenade... on top of his head!
I'd rather face a weapon of mass destruction than have my pecker burnt off

Maybe I'll get some blast media, some soda or walnut. I have a buddy with a blaster. Ugh The choices, I am just anxious to get them polished. Was dreaming about it last night 
Yo how much should I get? 50 lbs?
Does anyone else have the disease where they change their mind about 40 times before actually doing something? I've gone back and forth on how to do these wheels who knows how many times
