wouldn't think so, if it's a corsa b then you'll probably need a caramel wheel? to sort it out.

i'm sure someone in projects forum has referred to it as a caramel wheel, so it's hardly worthy of a sig is it

iirc it was marksport when he was little duke.

You put it in the end of a drill and use it too remove stuff like urethane and pinstriping off your paintwork. When it heats up it smells like caramel. We use it all the time at Holden when we replace the side door moulds which crack and we have to remove the old urethane that sticks them on.
Dont use it on acrylic paint though! It will roger it!

probably why people call it a caramel wheel then.

stop being pedantic. i don't even work in the body work trade and had only heard it mentioned before as caramel wheel.

you can easily get the correct information from google by typing in ''caramel wheel''.

they have also been called eraser wheels too.

correct term is eraser wheel, toffee wheel and caramel wheel are just general terms, so your all correct, as for the different colour underneath if it doesn't polish up then will need painting
