This paint stripping system works great on painted solid timber doors, cast iron veranda hardware etc. I dont know how the alloy wheels would handle 12 hours of caustic solution
Personally I wouldn't recommend this....sodium hydroxide (caustic
soda...NaOH) aggressively attacks aluminium alloys and after extended
exposure...well...there may not be much left, esp with a strong
solution. We use NaOH as the base for aluminium etchants, but it
will not harm ferrous alloys (steels) and is commonly a part of
alkaline cleaners for steels. Another note of caution.....even
in its 'dry' (undissolved) form, caustic soda can cause serious skin
burns.
Methylene chloride based paint strippers will strip paint without
damaging the aluminium alloy of the wheel, but those types of
strippers are hard to find due to being withdrawn (mostly) because of
environmental considerations.
Some wheel paints are epoxy based and there are virtually no
readily available strippers that will touch it. There are
epoxy paint strippers still available to the military, but they are
carcinogenic, amongst other serious health dangers. The one we
use is called 'yellow peril' for good reason.
