Hello Evan just wanted to drop you a line of thanks. I've watched a bunch of you videos in preparation of polishing my well under maintained Boyd Coddington billet wheels. I must say you literally lay out the blue prints for a successful polish to an average Joe like me. I followed your recommendations with buffs, compounds and polish to a tee. With that, anyone with a cheap Warrior buff like I have can achieve fantastic results. Thank you so much and go shine on!

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

[@SPYD0R]

Incredible work, I think the scratched rims at the start looked better than mine did when new! Spare a thought for those of us in the UK, where the salted roads in Winter absolutely destroy polished rims within a few years, unless you have a very strict cleaning and protection routine.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Here in Wisconsin they get beat bad too. This video was shot in sunny California. Here in my home state the stuff is way rougher.

Best video yet, nice getting a complete explanation of the different color buffs and polishes. I'm surprised he hasn't built some kind of portable tire turner with a foot controller like a trolling motor that's variable speed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

I've been trying to dream something up that would work for that. But haven't come up with anything that makes money or sense yet. But it is still in the back of my mind. Thank you for the great comment and idea. Appreciate the support.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Thank you for watching and commenting. I am happy you found this video helpful. Liking the idea of a portable tire turner. Thanks for the support!

[@earlbrown]

@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing They already exist. Look at rollers for bump starting racing motorcycles. Or, if you don't mind taking the wheels off, circle track racers have a tire stand that spins for dressing the tire treads. Those aren't powered, but they'll allow you to polish without having to be hunched over close to the ground.

[@earlbrown]

Or just grab an old variable speed buffer, make a base out of a 2x4, and use an old buff as a drive wheel. Set it touching the tread, use a screen door spring or a rubber strap for some preload and use that for an external drive motor.

Good job, I worked 20+ years restoring antique furniture, wood and metal, polishing metal and more, a set like this is totally worth the investment if you want to make some money polishing wheels, if you own a car or truck with nice wheels, it's totally justified investing in a polishing kit , practice makes perfect, practice in scrap metal, and be patient...

Hi Evan. Love the video! Im about to polish the rims on my new bike. Its also aluminum wheels, 10.5" in the back (280 wheel) and it has some corrosion after sitting for some years. Wold you recomend using 600 grit paper to get those "pittings" before polishing? Forks, headlight and so on all have been left untreated for years but its not to bad. Just notised when i polish with my battery drill there is some spots left after i polish it. Wold love to have it 110% :-)

Grombil - av Entusiaster for Entusiaster usually they are clear coated. Check that first. If no coating start with 400 then 600 and polish.

Dont have experience with rotary but I use a da all the time because I work in a body shop. Could I just use like 600 or 800, and do finer wet sanding with 1500 or 3000 until I get to where I can use a polishing cone on a drill?

Why is it scratching when polishing? Please help

[@tannertidwell3523]

Hey I’ve got a serious question, I’ve done used the zypher kit and went through all stages of cut, color, and polishes with all the airways and compounds but even after I get done it just looks like the before of these wheels. What am I doing wrong?

[@tannertidwell3523]

They are 24x14 Cali off-road if that help

[@tombamber3856]

Evan what process would I take to restore wheels that have brake dust caked on them?

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

I would use an iron remover or brake dust remover first to loosen and then buff and color the wheel. If it doesn't wash off then use sanding but only if necessary.

[@timmay0330]

I see your buddy is spinning the wheel for you as you sand/polish. How beneficial would it be to have tool that you could lower the tire down on the would spin the tires for you? Would not have to be a big piece of equipment. Probably smaller than your buffer itself.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

That would be helpful. Thanks for watching!

10:31 I'd love to learn how to polish aluminum rims I'm from Cecilia Louisiana

[@bootyman234]

I got five spoke rims for the same reason you're using the rims you have for this video...they are way easier to clean!

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Anthony Wayne I polish tons of rims. Over 11,000 last year. This style is easier.

[@bootyman234]

I know, that's what I said. I'm just wondering if those huge polishing disk can be used on wheels with more intricate designs, or if there are smaller versions and different techniques used on them. =)

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Anthony Wayne sure can. I use them on the daily.
