How to Repair Rims with Curb Rash or Scratches

[@MEMcAndrews]

Of ALL the DIY vids I’ve watched (THOUSANDS) for the work I’ve been doing on my E46 M3, THIS one is by far THE VERY BEST. Quick… concise… detailed, but not verbose. You, my friend, are a MASTER.

[@Jz-gx5eb]

This is the 1st comment I've ever made in all the years I'm on the Internet........ This is the absolute BEST tutorial, I have ever seen with an absolutely tremendous outcome as well. I have absolutely 0 skills with my hands, & 0 patience when it comes to projects of any kind......... I did this myself & saved myself about $800 bucks. It took me a weekend to bring my wife's wheels on her Cadillac, back to new. Time consuming but well well worth the time. WOW!! Thank you

[@zachx4338]

Biggest thing that wasn't mentioned, was dulling the edge that you may end up making on the edge of the rim that's close to the tire. If you leave that edge sharp, and you hit a pot hole or just come down on it too hard, it will slice your tire. ALWAYS make sure you aren't taking to much material off, and ALWAYS dull the edges out. This will save you hundreds in new tires before you realize what's causing it.

[@najhchronicles]

how do you dull the edges?

Just discovered your videos. They are probably the best that I've seen yet for anything auto related. Clear, well spoken, very through and cover everything needed to know of the ones I've looked at. I'll do my own aluminum alloy repair on my wheels now as a result as you give me the confidence to do so. So thank you for taking the time to do them as you obviously weren't paid to.

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Hey, Chris- that was fantastic. I have a few pointers for you- that I've learned from others over the years. To save your back, knees, and work area- set the wheel on the open end of a plastic (or metal) waste can (45-55 gal.). All of the metal dust, water, and chemicals go into the can (even use a liner in can for quick & ez cleanup, too). *BEFORE* sanding/polishing your wheel- scrub the tire first with a stiff brush and a *pumice-based "mechanics" hand soap*, rinse with *HOT* water, then dry; apply several coats of your favorite tire dressing (it sticks really well & soaks into a deeply cleaned tire) to protect it. Don't forget to sand/polish the *_inside_* of the rim, too! Cards are great- cereal & food boxes are *virtually FREE*. Most "aluminum polishes" leave a protective coating; if you're going to clear coat- several wipes with *acetone* is preferred to remove it, and the enamel will adhere better. Remember- just as with a cars' finish- you can color sand, cut, and polish that clear coat on the wheels, too. BTW I own a Black & Decker "Mouse" sander ($35 USD) that works great for this exact job, and many grades of abrasive are available for it.

[@chrisfix]

Excellent tips on an excellent instructional video! Suggested edit: "several wipes with acetone is preferred to remove that protective coating". Also lost me at the end. Color sand, cut, and polish? Great stuff, though. Thanks.

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

@@libertyblack715 Most "polishes" leave a residue, that must be removed before any clear coat is applied. Acetone will easily cut through it. After the clear coat dries & hardens, you can use a product to cut and buff it, for a deeper shine, as long as you have applied a sufficient amount of clear, without burning through. Maguires Ultimate Compound works great.

[@fieraci8500]

Chris, Take it from a guy in his mid 50’s: always do work like that with the workpiece up on a bench or table. Much easier on your back and your knees. Knee pads are fine for when you have no choice to kneel on a floor, but things like this: always put it up on a bench.

[@calvinmathers]

It would take way more then 2 hours

[@Rakku]

Why would this take so long? The most time consuming part is the stripping of the clear coat and then the reapplience of the new clear coat. If you´re stupid enough to do every step after another for reach rim, well then you deserve to take like 8 hours for this. I mean, just do each step on each rim at the same time.... Stripping clear coat? Do it with 4 rims at once, not only one ... get the idea? That way it takes way less time.

[@cody8860]

You can do each wheel in between stripping the clear coat. It's about 6 hours of labour to do all 4. I do it all the time for my friends cars and charge a case of beer and a tank of fuel.

Good DIY tutorial there Chris. If I could just suggest one thing. I would not polish the wheel before clear coat. The clear coat needs a good key and is likely to peel off over time. Also 1000 grit is more than enough, will give a better key for the paint to stick and the clear will fill in any light scratches you can still see. You'll be surprised buddy.

[@KingJerbear]

One tip when using a chemical stripper, whether on paint or on a wheel, is to cover it with plastic to contain the fumes after you coat it. This can help the chemical to work better and does a good job to work areas even if they don't have quite as much product on them. Do note, however, in a situation like this with a tire still mounted, you probably wouldn't want to cover it to risk damaging the tire. Even if the tire still LOOKED okay it may have caused damage that could cause premature failure, which is the last thing you want to happen at 70mph.

[@negativeindustrial]

Good job. 2 things: 1. If you’re removing that much material locally, that rim needs to be rebalanced. 2. That chemical stripper is hell on the materials used in that valve stem. On my own car I wouldn’t trust it to handle road stresses the way it used to. Other than that, great job. I just felt because you were so thorough, you’d want to make sure people also stayed safe.

[@jannelakkapaa6057]

Don't think grinding material from the face of the rim does that much damage atleast on normal rims. Some superlight rims are gonna loose some strenght if they loose this much material. Balancing is a must after this tho

[@negativeindustrial]

Janne Lakkapää Yep, balance is the potential issue. That chemical stripper on the valve stem is a no-go tho.

[@pignatan]

Aluminium is so much lighter than lead. Taking off that amount of aluminium is not going to effect the balance. However your point on rubber valve stems is valid. This video is full of holes though.

[@kenthartland8581]

FLAP wheel (or Flap Disc). Picky picky, I know. Good video. When I was building custom motorcycles I made a rig to mount the rim on, that turned it with an electric motor and speed control. It had a gooseneck light and tool rest like a lathe so I could lay a cutting edge or dremel against the rim and turn the wheel to remove curb rash. It removed just what I needed to remove and did it evenly. You might still need to do some hand work in the interior regions but with the rig I could tilt it vertically, horizontally or facing me at a 45 degree angle. It allowed me to work standing upright and to turn the wheel easily. When it came time to paint or clear coat, I often used the electric motor to rotate the wheel while I held my HVLP gun steady for a smooth, even coverage. I even ran the motor to keep the wheel turning slowly while the paint dried to ensure against runs or sags. That wheel rig made it so much quicker, easier and better than hand work. Sure, it was an investment of time and money but I wouldn't do it any other way. BTW, I also perfected a technique to buff off the tire lettering with a four inch angle grinder and a FLAP disc to get the sidewalls flat and smooth. Then I would mask them and spray whitewalls on with white PlastiDip. The PlastiDip interacted with the tire compound to tint it slightly ivory which was so much better looking and stark white. I regret getting rid of that rig. I could use it now to resurface my wife's rims.

for what amounts to a quick and dirty fix with reasonable visual results, it's actually not that bad, considering. i've seen much worse. and on a rim like that, a sticky weight in the right spot and any issues are negated (which is not ideal, but hey, this is a budget fix, and truing costs money). that being said, i personally try to stick to using my spray gun for anything involving spray application coatings to protect. sure, more cleanup, but man the end result is so much better to me.

Dam it ChrisFix, every time I watch these videos I go out and check my vehicle. 👍😂

[@chrisfix]

That's awesome you're making sure it's in good shape!

[@buschdogg]

You made a great video and did an amazing job, but good lord it looks like this would take forever.... I have half a mind to just buy new rims after this, lol.

[@khuo0219]

There are some money saving DIY jobs and there are just ocd jobs. This is the latter. Looks cool but poor value for time.

[@pedrofly100]

*Nice rim job*

[@beneque79]

Thanks for all your vids... one of the greatest YT content producer ever.

[@LIToyGame]

Some of those scratches look pretty deep @ChrisFix, do you need to get the tires re-balanced after removing so much material?

[@saucynfuegoo]

I guess you could say... Thats a good rim job ;)

[@Northrop-Grumman1991]

Do you need to remove the old clear coat can't you just sand the hole rim then use some 3m polish to get it shinny again

[@BlarginBro]

Yeah same question here

[@ImSafeonSite]

Great Job Chris.... I love your channel... even a guy with two busted shoulders can fix my car following your methods..
