My experience stripping my brand new black Vokeys

Recommended Posts

I have always been one who is a huge fan of the raw wedge look. Yet being a college student, I can't really afford the extra $$$ Vokey charges for raw wedges. I decided I wanted to strip my new black SM7s with CLR. So far the results are really good. I included some pictures below. With my first attempt, I didn't get enough CLR to cover the whole wedge (you can see the line pretty well on them). I put the wedges in there for about 30 minutes and just scrubbed them w a normal rag. I have yet to play with them and will get more CLR. I still have to soak them more to get rid of the black on the hosel. Looking to get that complete raw look w the black paint fill.

 

Interested to hear about any of our experiences with stripping a finish of a wedge/iron or what techniques you guys use. Will post pictures and updates.

Those look great!

 

Delponcho, try using barkeepers friend. I use it to clean my clubs and it works great, but I mistakenly found out it strips the black off black vokeys

This is the finished product. I got some more CLR tonight to cover the rest of the hosel and used a Scotch-Brite pad.

 

I'm telling you guys, use CLR. That stuff is a miracle worker. I had mine in there less than an hour and it did great. I highly recommend getting the jet black sm7s and doing this instead of the basic raw vokeys.

Nope. Not without some dangerous chemicals. Chrome is designed to protect from rusting.

How long did you soak them in vinegar and any particualr type of vinegar? I've done the CLR soaking before in the past but really love the color yours turned out, been doing the raw wedge work orders the last few years but getting tired of spending that extra money.

Cleaning grade vinegar that can be bought in the cleaning supply section of a grocery store is the easiest.
