How To Install An All-Fit Rim Trim™ Kit On Your Wheels
It’s pretty easy to install All-Fit Rim Trim™ on your wheels. Yet, you have to be sure to do it right. That includes:
- Thoroughly cleaning each wheel
- Allowing enough time for each wheel to dry before installation
- Applying the adhesive promoter the right way
- Allowing enough time for the adhesive promoter to dry
- Allowing over 24 hours for full bonding to occur
If you’re a visual person, check out an installation video we put up. A comprehensive set of instructions follows:
1. Clean Your Wheels
- Wash the wheels and let them fully dry.
- With the provided rubbing alcohol wipe, thoroughly wipe down the edge of the rims.
- Be sure to move quickly from rim to rim to keep the alcohol wipes from drying out.
- If the rims aren’t clean enough, use a rag and additional rubbing alcohol. The goal here is to remove all the oil and grime from your wheels. When your rims are clean, the adhesive can bond correctly.
- Let all the rims dry before moving on to the next step.
2. Apply The Adhesive Promoter To The Wheels
- Put the provided glove on your dominant hand.
- With your gloved hand, carefully open the adhesive promoter.
- Be sure that the adhesive promoter only touches your gloved hand.
- Apply the adhesive promoter to the edge of each rim.
- A single, continuous wipe with the promoter around the rim is sufficient.
- Your goal is to apply a thin layer of the promoter, the same width as the trim. Less is more, in this case.
- Be sure to move quickly from wheel to wheel to prevent the promoter from drying out.
- Make sure you apply the adhesive promoter to two wheels. If you only apply it to one wheel and wait a while before doing the next wheel, it may dry out.
- When you’re done, safely discard the glove and the adhesive promoter. Be sure to keep it out of reach of children.
- Allow the promoter to dry for 3 to 5 minutes. You want it to create a tacky surface.
3. Apply The Rim Trim™ To The Wheels
- Peel a 2” section of the tape liner off the underside of the Rim Trim™.
- Carefully install the Rim Trim™ on each rim.
- Move around the wheel, lining up the Rim Trim™. As you do this, slowly peel off the rest of the tape liner and then press the trim firmly on the wheel.
- Carefully trim the end of the Rim Trim™ so the two ends press together.
- When you’re done applying the trim to all four wheels, reapply pressure over the trim. This confirms a strong bond. Then do it again! The adhesive is pressure sensitive, which means that it needs pressure to activate.
- Apply a clear gap strip in the spot where the Rim Trim™ meets itself on each wheel.
- Wait at least 24 hours before washing or driving your vehicle. The Rim Trim™ needs to bond to the wheel first.
