prep queston for wheel

[Guest]

I'm hoping I can do some wheels or wheel tomorrow. degrease , rinse, dry then blast. Do I dip the rim with degreaser or spray it? Then dip in phosphatizer. Am I missing anything? Any other advise would be helpful.

I've always sprayed them down since I don't have the ability to dip them in degreaser.

We just spray w/ 50% purple power 50% water. Another small cleaning tip for guys like myself who don't have a big money steam unit, we attach our pressure washer straight to the drain cock on the water heater. Works a hell of a lot better than just cold water.

Heat is an advantage when degreasing ... I would also not temp Murphey and his evil laws-lay down an outgass forgiving primer first

I've gotten into the habit of always out gassing ANY wheel for at least 1 hour at around 425 or higher. It has worked out well for me so far.
