Nope......I just need a touchless aka euro. screw that 40/40 crap.

I trust myself with these 1000 dollar plus wheels before anyone else in the world. Ive just done it so many time it makes me nervous to even watch others operate the bead breaker.

f1 motorsports was extremely expensive for wheel fixing.

What I really need is when I got my car painted there was some overspray on the wheel lips. I just want that off of the wheels. It's probably what needs to be done is polishing. I tried some polishing but it too forever, must be a faster way to do it.
