I asked this once before but I don't think it was posted as a new response in this thread. So, I'll ask once again, does anyone have experience with either of the 2 convergence chemicals mentioned in this thread, the BASF 2000 wipes or the Bonderite M-CR Magnesium Aero Chromate Coating? I'm curious what the consensus might be as to which is the better. Other than where curb rash may have occurred, the OEM Dow 7 treatment would still be on a wheel undergoing refinishing so either of these chemicals would be applied over the Dow 7 and bare magnesium at any rash that may have occurred. It sounds like either of these 2 chemicals would be sufficient to protect the magnesium at any curb rash. Opinions.....experience?
They serve the same purpose. I went with the BASF 2000 wipes for product support and warranty reasons. Glasurit will not warranty the finish unless we use only there products from metal to finish. Also I was able to get more information on the 2000 wipes with next to nothing on the bonderite.
Finally caught up in the shop to tackle this major service, enjoy. Motor dropped and inspected.

The front cover bearings were soaked with oil. We figured it was from a heavy leak coming from the cam seal but they were wet again after sitting. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
