I just washed all my part in the dishwasher and all the anodized purple parts turned PINK!!!! :doh: My rims and back top upper aluminum arms turned bright pink same with the chassis but thats ok its junk anyway. The rims looked like crap so I pulled out the old easy off oven cleaner and stripped them to the bare aluminum. I have been polishing one for over and hour and half and still not done, They are going to look sweet when I'm done but what a pain!! Driver does awesome work it might look easy but trust me its not. Anyway if you ever decide to use the dishwasher take off all the purple aluminum lol, it diddnt do anything to the blue or red on my Maxx. The Maxx looks brandnew though, :) man that works awesome lol thanks for the idea Clint.
 
Electrosol lemon mabe it was from the citrus ?
 
I though it was funny actually gave me a reason to loose the ugly purple andodized rims, I was thinking of taking the purple off for a while now I had a reason to do it lol
 
Jesse, LOL, I apologize, but it's rare that I read something that makes me chuckle...Dude you have some rough luck.

Hang in there,

Mr T
 
I was frustrated at first I admit, but I was like oh well why would this go right nothing else does with this crazy Maxx lol. When I'm done with it well if I ever get it done it will be one bad mofo lmao.
 
Or I will sell it and buy a Savage and probally have the same luck with it lmao!
 
AH HA My plan worked...I knew eventually you would turn those arms pink....and have the wineyest MT on teh site..... :jk: ...if you don't laugh it can make you cry
 
Now you can run with the "Terror Squad" cuz only "real gangsters" were pink...lol... So Fat joe says... Pink is the new black ya know.. Start the trend with Pink rc's..lol.

Or have it be called the girly mobile.. one of the two..lol..

Sorry I just had to tease ya a bit.. Should post up some pics!!! Id like to see the before and after pics. Good luck bro!
 
Yep you know it, Thats why I posted it lol so everyone can get a good laugh, I will post a pic of my wussy pink arms in a few, well here they are lol the rims stayed pink about for 2 minutes before I stripped them hehe. I will post one of them when I'm done polishing them. Its weird it only turned certain purple parts pink , my bumpers still look the same, must be the quality of the oxodization? :shrug:

aint they pretty LMAO!!!!! I think I will be giving them the same treatment as my wheels and take off the anodization and making them shine, to bad chrome dont get you home lol
 
Yeah when I put it back together it should look like new :)
 
Maybe it was the heat of the water, mixed with the detergent... O well, now you have a reason to get the purple out of there! I like the new choice of color... pink... wow. I wouldnt take that out in public. I wouldnt even show it to anyone...
