How to Sand and Polish Aluminum! American Forces & many others! HUGE DIFFERENCE

[@markg.2501]

It's a beautiful thing to watch a professional tradesmen work his trade to this level!

[@anayacar000]

Every time he did a layer I was like looks good can't get too much better than that but nope shinier every time😂

[@JesusSaves86AB]

All the aluminum rims I've worked on were heavily oxidized and needed 100 grit to start. But this video is spot on. Excellent tutorial

[@vexraill]

what a transformation! this guy is good at what he does for sure.

[@joetoodeep5664]

I can only imagine how clean his dishes at home are

[@edwardmulder3777]

He cleans and polished all day, so unless he really loves cleaning and polishing - probably not too clean and shiny, that's why u don't buy a mechanics car etc

[@24chavta]

I came here for the best trucks in west Texas video and I ended being more into this video lol rims came out super clean

[@josephhernandez5848]

that right there takes a lot of patience good job guys keep up the good work

[@MrTonyMontana1177]

Dude you are the man!!! Great work.

[@jacksonexpresspolishing2321]

Superb cinematography and an excellent display of professional polishing! What more could you ask for?!?

[@SalinasPhotography]

Thank you sir!

[@lagrant3914]

Salinas Photography how much would a job like this cost??? all 4 rims

[@tonyibarra2551]

That looks amazing nice detail cleaning in the hole

[@irvingrx7fd205]

thats dude is an artist at polishing!! great job!!

[@markkulyas2418]

An artist? Lol, a freaking monkey could run a polisher.

[@freddygonzalez6551]

😂

[@selfmadeproductions934]

@@markkulyas2418 obviously you’ve never polished anything in your life and even if you have I know it came out like shit. Real polishers know it takes more than just working a regular ass grinder, takes mad skill and technique, learn something instead

[@knightryderbelow]

Thats awesome! Too bad my rims are black, I would love to try this. Thanks for a very informative video can't wait for the next one!

[@paulnueberg742]

God damn, I thought I was a stickler. Two thumbs up bro.

Salinas you never disappoint with your videos, this one is one of my favorites!

[@alfonsogarcia3626]

Dude doesn't fuck around 👌

[@plaza5pro]

Great video. I noticed that you spoke about the polish that you used between each step, however, you didn't show how much to use or how to tell if/when you need to apply more to the buffer. Do you have any videos where you show those specifics?

[@jcmarth1]

Bud good work looks awesome

[@glrogers67]

Those wheels look bad a$$ on that HD! That looks amazing. Just ordered the zephyr polishing kit, can’t wait to get results like this. I’ve been doing it by hand with that pro 40, with decent results, I’m ready to step it up!

[@andrewnadler7322]

[@detroitchris8724]

Great job,,, brother really good information every step . Thanks learned alot

[@madcook1936]

Awesome how to video you guys

[@24miguelkeller]

Do you sand the barrel of the rim the exact same way ?

[@Tat2Dragons]

Great job, thanks for sharing. 👍

[@rickysauce7135]

Awesome work ! But what about the barrel of the rim I’d want that polished as well if I had chrome forces.

[@jimmyfavereau]

one of the best vids I've come across Kev!...... do take your health serious though.. cover up and do NOt breath in particles or mineral spirit fumes .... we absorb chemicals through our skin, face, arms etc. .... money cant buy your health.. thanks for the share and take care : )

[@dionwairepo5764]

Looking awesome, have you got a link to the products you use please

[@ramonpulido6960]

one of the best videos out there 👌👌

[@SalinasPhotography]

Thank you sir.

[@kenkolen]

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing.

[@CrumbScum]

Do you have to use grit before every polish or just if the wheels are scratched? Or can you just start the 3 wheel step?

[@aaron30569]

whats the best way to keep the wheels looking like this after every wash?

[@matthewwilliamson9463]

What does he use to clean his buffing wheels after?

[@j.c.2164]

Shout out to Salinas Photography and Zephyr from Houston, TX.

[@jacobfaz84]

A buddy of mine got his american force wheels scratched by his dog, (long story) can you do this process in sections if only part of the wheel is scratched

[@michaelcromwell8093]

What is the minimum size polisher do you need to use the 10 inch or 8 inch wheels

[@markkulyas2418]

Would it be easier to dismount the tire so you don't have to work around all those lug nuts?

[@itriggerpeople1704]

Salinas wheres your truck!!and great vid bro

[@eduardohumaran]

hi there! can you do a video polishing from bumper classic have in from thanks. you do great job and videos.

[@bennymathew8531]

what do you charge for a dually setup

[@zquake12]

What is the tune to this video? the songs people have listed above is incorrect, but I love this beat!

[@UTPP]

You are next level mate! What do you charge per wheel?

[@HBRanch]

Great video guys! Much appreciated!!

[@SalinasPhotography]

Hope you can use this video one day!

[@HBRanch]

Salinas Photography Can't wait to get my AF's in!

[@Brian-mc4pd]

Good vid - quick question though. I’ve seen some vids that go to a 1000, 1500, 2000, and maybe even 3000 grit before buffing. What is the reason for doing that? Based on your vid, it doesn’t seem to be able to get any shinier, so why would some run all the way through the grits?Thanks again

[@timk484]

Where would i go to get my forged rims done and how much does it cost?

[@damonwaller9226]

Awesome video, what's the background music?

[@markrush4486]

Great video, lol you could tour with the blue man group after work :)

[@anthonyahari1782]

A lot more work then i was expecting lol

[@SalinasPhotography]

It is a ALOT of work!

[@24miguelkeller]

What if all I have is a 8500 rpm grinder will it still work ?

[@koloheboy11]

What speeds do you run on primary and secondary cuts?

[@19jody72]

Where can I buy the stuff in this video to polish my wheels?

[@freddygonzalez6551]

Where can I get that mineral spirit

[@Enigmah88]

wouldn't polishing be 10x easier if you take the rim off...? seems like it would take way less time too without lugnuts in the way

[@SalinasPhotography]

+KiloSimeon yes it will but if you heard Kevin a lot of people asked for a how to polish with the wheels on, as they don't have access to power tools to take the wheels off and such.

[@Acf647]

What brand of mineral spirits do you use??

[@deermaster9715]

So mineral spirits, any particular brand? What about kerosene

[@MrEyad1990]

you sarted with 800g sandpaper ? and then 400 g ??

[@brianwalker1933]

The info was great! But the "boom boom" noise (music???) is "bloody" annoying!! Didn't watch the entire video because of it!!

[@SIKF150]

damn that came out clean , you know how much they charge for 24x14s?

[@JimiMacRoss]

thank you for your video they want to charge me $500 to polish my motorcycle wheels..." you gave me so much encouragement and save me $500 "THANK YOU!!..." I watched your video about 3 times every night for two weeks before I did my motorcycle wheels...(( and they came out just like you did them for me...LMAO

[@BrownRooster]

JimiMacRoss well $500 is the price what do you expect

[@Suckerpunchu]

JimiMacRoss I’m not sure what you make an hour but you spent 45 Minutes a night for two weeks, bought all the materials, and equipment needed, then spent whatever time it took to do this. You sure it wouldn’t have been cheaper to just pay the $500?

[@carlnorton1636]

How do you maintain the grinder and a lower speed mines a 8k and the wheels are only rated for 3200??

[@gregbowen9546]

You have to use verable speed buffing wheel. You can adjust rpm and trigger is adjustable. The more you pull trigger the faster it goes.

[@dardenoakley8432]

I see you flexing with all them grinders lol I hear ya

[@handtohandcombat3535]

I use to do motorcycle frames. Man it was soooo dirty! Face, hands, arms just black. I just ordered fuel forged in copper. Living where theres snow and salt I was like no way to polished.

[@pbucch]

thanks for a great video. I have a question about the angle grinder he uses. all grinders I see turn 7-10k rpm, seems like hes modulating the throttle himself to keep it spinning

[@KD-mm3li]

id say no cause the wheels are "rated" to only 3500 rpm. don't go past 6000 or the wheels may wear out faster.

[@NotVeryNiceToYou]

what's the backround song? I know it's drake but I cant figure out which one

[@AustinBrown-wk3tn]

What is the name of the song?

[@coreyblunt1147]

Holy mackerel! 😎

[@nicksmith1363]

Very detailed and professional video! The only thing that slightly bothered me is the fact that this is a work truck. I understand the pride in having a nice and individual truck. But the wheels and tires alone are a bit much for a work truck.

[@germanvargas4253]

Nick Smith its all about stuntin and rollin like a boss for all these welders out there lol they cant just have a simple tradesman or bare bones dually they gotta have the 100k truck lol

Status man! Or thats the owners truck.

[@brandonthompson9957]

Those welders make dang good money.. you'd be suprised!

[@thomashodis5740]

What does a person's title or wealth have anything to do with how they want there truck to look? To each there own is how it should be. From how you guys speak his rig is over the top but if he was rolling in a stock Colorado you guys would knock him for driving such a lame piece of shit?

[@alexhuerta5300]

yuh west texas ftw

[@rogervondach1238]

There are several ways to polish Aluminum wheels (rims). Each one has it's positive and negative sides, however, at the end they are all somewhat equally shiny. What I am waiting for, for the last 30 plus years, is a method to keep them look nice for longer than just a few weeks. It seems to me that this is not possible. Not even Alcoa has managed the problem.

[@jays4forces]

he must havnt washed/polished them in forever or something?

[@djeondj]

jays4forces take into consideration that it's a work truck so it's exposed to the elements.

[@tonebebop7656]

Bare aluminum looks the best! I don't see why you would have that on a truck though. Different rim size makes tires expensive. I don't care how long you got in Williston or wherever. I would of invested differently.
