so would this work o nlets say hyperdark silver wheels? Would that stuff strip off my hyperdark silver and bring it to the aluminum finish, then polish it up?

So was the clearcoat gone off the wheels pre-stripping? It doesn't look like it and if it wasn't then you removed it and now you're gonna have to polish them a lot more.
Regardless they look good.

That's cool. I was just curious. My brother's friend ruined a set of wheels my dad had on one of his trucks by spraying his "chrome wheel cleaner" aka acid on my dad's polished wheels and someone sprayed something on the wheels that were on my old Camaro so I had to polish them ALL the time.

I was wondering if it would do anything to the tires...once the stripper dried it left the tires brown in that spot, but it rinsed right off with the pressure washer so no worries.
