2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV Alloy Wheels

The procedure is to remove the wheels from the vehicle, remove the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire, remove excess grease, etc. from the wheels with wax and grease remover, have the wheel plastic media blasted to remove the clearcoat, and then clean and mask and paint the wheels.

The procedure is to remove the tire and wheel, inflate the tire to the manufactures specified pressure as stated on the tire, remove the tire from the wheel, apply a 3 mm (0.12 in) thick layer of adhesive/sealant to the leak area, align the inscribed mark on the tire with the valve stem on the wheel, install the tire to the wheel, submerge the tire/wheel into a water bath in order ensure the leak is sealed, inflate the tire to the specified pressure as stated on the tire placard, and then install the tire and wheel.

You must work in a properly ventilated area, wearing an approved respirator, eye protection, earplugs, and protective gloves and clothing to avoid personal injury when exposed to plastic media blast, hand and/or lathe sanding dust, primer, color coat, and clear coat.
