How to remove cat piss stain from chome rims

**dannoor** · 12-11-2009, 07:00 AM

Hi all,

Need urgent help with customer's rims. There's 1 rim which was stored in the garage with the other rims which was piss on by a cat and left some nasty stains. I've tried just about everything I have and know to remove it; clay, polish/compound, vinegar and warm water, glass stain remover, tar remover, autosol, even tooth paste...I actually thought of coke. None of them worked. Anyone care to share their ideas and experiences. Appreciate the help.

Here are some pictures:

Uh, what kind of cat do is that? A friggen mountain lion? Try washing with Wolfgang Tire and Wheel Cleaner, ( worked on the wife's nasty stained wheels) and finish with Megs Hot Rim Chrome Polish and shoot the cat

That's the 1st thing I told the customer to do. Unfortunately, I don't have Wolfgang Tire and Wheel Cleaner but tried Meg's Wheel Cleaner (Detailer) and Chrome and Mag polishes from Megs and Mothers.

I was hoping to get some unconventional cleaning methods like garlic, lime, etc.

but something might work. Thanks for the suggestion John.

Did you try Hot Rims Chrome from Meg's? That's fairly powerful.

If not, have you tried Meg's Wheel Brightener? First at 4:1 and then pure concentrate? The Hot Rim's Chrome is pretty damn strong but have some nasty stuff that gets brought to me and from research, the Wheel Brightener contains acid and looking at the label is some pretty nasty stuff.

From what I gather if it doesn't bring it out, it's not coming out.

The problem is there might be some kind of clear on the rims, or even the chrome itself has been pitted by the acidic nature of animal urine. If that's the case they may even need re-chroming

I wonder if the Decontamination Products from Finish Care would clean it up? The are safe for paint if you follow directions. While the Acid step in the Decon system isn't as harsh as normal wheel acids, it is still pretty dang strong and may just work.

Try claying them.

In the first post he said he already tried that and it didn't work.

Those are VOLK Racing wheels GT-C and they are 2pc Forged Outer & Cast Center. Try using the P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner and than the Wenol Red and the Wenol Blue. If that doesn't work than try using The Wenol Red with 0000 Steel Wool. Last option is to take the wheels to a Machine Shop and have them professionally polished out. Volk makes awesome racing wheels and are expensive hope this helps.

These are not chrome wheels.

cats urine is very bad if not taking care of fast it will damage anything. I have a cat his liter box has to be replace every three years.
