ioneabee Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 so the bloody saga continues... Been pretty busy lately so haven't kept on top of my washing routine - anyway, last week got round to it. Wheels sprayed with watered down Iron Awe from Envy, left for a few minutes, then agitated with a nylon wheel brush. Couple of days later took the rear wheels off to give them some polish protection and noticed that the clear lacquer is scratched from the wheel brushing This is apparently a powder coat as well, so certainly shouldn't be soft - contacted the company that did them and obviously want to see it before commenting. Anyone else know whats gone wrong here Quote
ioneabee Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) called in to see the powder coat company today he could clearly see what the problem was but couldn't (or wouldn't) say what caused it he innitially offered to polish it out, to which I politely refused with the comment that if the coat is soft, polishing it may remove the blemishes, but will only re-appear when I next wash them giving that a little though later.....how can you polish out scratches on Powder Coat - surely its way too hard for that ?? anyway - he has agreed to re-do them from scratch (no pun intended) I've just got to give up a day off work and hang around Swansea for 8 hours (not a pleasant thought) Edited January 14, 2015 by ioneabee Quote

Ebized Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Fingers crossed for you Andy they get it right this time. 1 Quote
350zedd Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Sounds like its just a clear lacquer coat over the top to scratch that easily. Hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction and... .....I don't envy you having to spend a day in Swansea!! 1 Quote
