How to Polish the Metal on a Hot Wheels Car to a Mirror Finnish

[@racegrooves]

You're welcome! When you talked about safety with the grinding wheel, that reminded me of when I was using a table saw and it chucked a stud right into my gut! It knocked the wind out of me!

[@outbackdiecast6730]

That's looks a hell of a lot better and easier than me using a darn dremel all the time lol. Nice work

[@baremetalHW]

No its the same as it always was.... I was testing the fit and forgot it was there... You have a sharp eye!!

[@jcsstratgtr]

Very great video a lot of great info and how to. Great.

[@elwyndavis339]

I always hold the body by a post with vise-grips. Heat is good when polishing. Pros preheat aluminum to get a good polish.

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks Mark!!

[@Fanbladetowers]

I really enjoyed that.. I think a lot of my favourites deserve to be done like this.. look good in a shelf case! thank you for doing this one!

[@donb3285]

Fantastic, Thank You, Thank You. I'm looking into a Polisher for my garage. You've cleared up alot for me.

[@lrg8734]

Excellent tips and work. (I'm not even a toy car collector yet find these restoration videos entertaining. That said, who knows? Maybe one day I'll do a few special cars for my thirty-year-old son and future grand kids, or commission someone else to do them instead.)

[@outbackdiecast6730]

You should...but be warned, its HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Awesome tutorial! I noticed you left the window in, did the window turn that color through the process?

[@racegrooves]

Nice tutorial!

[@imbadwrench]

i have never even considered using a solvent to remove polish.. Thank you i don't know why I never thought of this...

[@mihaiat3ka186]

Nice job, useful pointers, keep it up!

[@Indyjimmy01]

Yo always wanted to know how this was done. Thanks for your time and effort on this video. I know know what I will do for my cars painted with nail polish. I just need to master removing the rivets.

[@jburgess5]

Excellent presentation

[@ryanperry3854]

Should I try this polishing if I’m using spectraflame or creatx transparent paint?

[@graphitepencil]

Thank you great video

[@throw1932]

Can you make a list for all the supplies you need to do this

[@czechmarque]

Will a buffing wheel on the Dremel work (well 2 separate ones) with the compounds?

[@hotwheelsLAV]

Very nice wheels and thnx for the how too vid!!

[@WayneSpider]

I just saw this cannot wait to try it.

[@poochefmarowbePoochman]

Sweet man! So i need 2 compounds! Off to Harbor Freight!!!!!!

[@ajom67]

Is it possible to color this metal with heat, like steel?

[@baremetalHW]

Unfortunately no that would be very cool if it could I tried dozens of times..

[@ajom67]

Thank you... I supose it's a zinc alloy.

[@peteandrews5674]

Did you do the clear Coat video

[@Reimaginedmodels]

Would a rotary rock tumbler work to polish car bodies ? My guess is the vibratory tumbler would work best , but the noise level is an issue for me .

[@eddieescalante5029]

How do you put the cars back together?

[@marcelomacedo8828]

Hi...What's the name of the product you put on the water?

[@robertwooley9625]

What was the van used?

[@jayr5331]

Very cool.

[@aptheoutkastonelove4156]

great job

[@jrecio1948]

is there a way to do this without polishing machine

[@GuardrailBandit]

J Recio Yes but it Takes A VERY long time, so you can use fine sandpaper

[@0021-fault]

nice

[@Indyjimmy01]

Sorry I meant to say I wanted to know

[@Vdub1910]

If I were to ship you a kool kombi and some postage back could you polish one for me? Ill give you dome cars or some $.

[@nicoulashauzen289]

yeah i wouldn't want a cast aluminum car being launched into my face either but this video was very entertaining

[@wallywalpamur4960]

Cast aluminium?

[@ryanfargeot2145]

This was soooooo boring !

[@rnrgaming5146]

Ryan Fargeot Then don't watch it

[@briandeschene8424]

Ryan Fargeot Now that you’re 4 years older than when you left this comment, do you still find it as boring or can you appreciate the valuable information that is presented? I’m just curious.
