Application
Displayed below is a short video showing the application of Rimskins.
Instructions
IMPORTANT – The adhesive will not stick to surfaces that have been recently treated with a Teflon- or silicone-based preservative/dressing treatment. Preservative/dressing treatments must be completely removed before applying Rimskins™. These treatments can be applied after the installation of Rimskins™.
Rimskins™ will cover most gutter rash; however, if your rims are chipped or cracked, they may be dangerous and you should seek the advice of a wheel specialist before fitting Rimskins™. For rims with existing damage, make sure any rough edges are smoothed or sanded first. The better you prepare your rims, the better Rimskins™ will work.
1. Read instructions before use.
2. The performance of this product is directly related to how well you prepare the wheel rim before application. Use a quality wax and grease remover and cloth to thoroughly clean the wheel rim. Wait five minutes for the wheels to dry.
3. Ensure the ends of the Rimskins™ have been cut off squarely.
4. Peel 10cm of orange backing strip from adhesive strip.
5. Apply Rimskins™ from the top of the wheel rim and proceed in a clockwise direction, removing the backing strip as you go. Avoid direct contact with tape surface.
6. When application is complete, use scissors or a sharp blade to trim Rimskins™ to the correct length.
7. Firmly press Rimskins™ onto the rim.
8. To clean, wipe over with wax and grease remover and cloth.
Note: The adhesive used on Rimskins™ requires 24 hours to fully cure but is suitable for immediate use.
