How to show polish aluminum with Evan's detailing and polishing. Special guest Trainee Nick Wey.

In honor of Louisville Mats next week I decided it was finally time to release the how I show polish aluminum video. Yes it is a very lengthy video. I'm sorry I couldn't make it any shorter to save time as show polishing takes a ton of time. Mid way through an advanced training course with Nick Wey I knew he was the guy to do the show polishing video with. I have a very distinct process and wanted to prove that even someone new to the polish scene can replicate the process. Now understand he is very talented so that put him at an advantage to pull it off. He showed great pressure use and great at following his overlap and stuck to his pattern. Most at home can use this same exact process and achieve great results.
Now I am not saying this is the only way to achieve a show finish. There are hundreds if not thousands of ways to achieve a perfect shine. I wish the camera showed just how great this shine is. The natural sunlight outside made this look amazing.
But sit back and enjoy the content. There is so much jam packed into this one segment. I hope you all enjoy it.

What an awesome video. So much detail explaining all the small steps. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything going on. I always ended up leaving hash marks and now I know why. I had the pleasure of talking to you at Amcan. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. God Bless you for being such a neat guy. Thank you..!

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

[@elipete211]

That’s some good work right there, nice to see color commentary when someone else is polishing. Learned more tips there, great video

Thank you, I was happy to get a chance to film while Nick was here. Happy to hear that you found it helpful.

Thank you!

[@chrispolstin3445]

Killer content. Super helpful. I’ve polished some things but a long time ago. Trying to get up on the new wheels and rouges. My main takeaway though is how and what do you look for to know when to reapply rouge?

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

You will be able to tell when you notice that it is not cutting anymore. Hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@oxyfee6486]

Just curious, I just subscribed, do you polish the back of the tanks when they are on the trucks? Or just the front that people see? Thanks in advance, really learning a lot.👍🇨🇦

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

There is no real point in polishing the backs of tanks on the truck. If we do it is typically for a show truck and those are pulled off for easier access and of course safety reasons. I do not recommended polishing the back of tank while they are still on the truck.

[@oxyfee6486]

@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing Thanks for the reply, I was sure that you wouldn’t, but you never know what customers might ask ya to do.😂

[@larrybalowski946]

What to do about tye bunks being in way. What is process do you cover tgem with something to keep from getting messed up.

[@samuel9046]

Hey evan, i just did my first my first tank, and i have multiple burn lines, do i need to keep on cutting ? Or coloring

[@ericmcmurtrie8789]

I’m doing a small old boat, sanded to 600 , using orange buff, brown compound, and after a few sq/ft the aluminum won’t go shiny and just gets smooth black. What can I try to stop this?

[@josephb3147]

What's the best Aluminum Alloy to polish... Any corrosion protection after?

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

The best is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has their own preference. I make my own called time2shine aluminum polish. It has a lot of wax in it to protect and is easy to use. I use it everyday in my shop. So to me it is the best. But I am biased. LOL Thank you for the great question and for supporting the channel.

[@rhosha74]

I want to do this with my rims on my 300C….is sanding necessary if they already have a polished look

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

On a chrysler 300 c they are likely chrome. If they are chrome they cannot be polished like this. Be sure you figure out what material they are.

[@gaimartin]

Hello. how many turns 5.00

[@samuelsmith5773]

What metal polish are you recommending? You didn’t use mineral spirits to clean between compounds.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

You don't need to clean between when using these compounds. I use my Time2Shine aluminum polish. Everything can be found at www.goshineon.com.

[@brudman80]

The differences between a “hash mark and a rouge line” is what?

[@mackenziesibley7025]

I could use some tips on cutting and polishing stainless

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

There is a video posted here on that.

[@DasSnakeBoy]

How long does the shine last?

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

It is hard to say because you have to take in consideration the conditions in which the aluminum will be in for example, weather, roads, the handling of it. It can last several months or it may need touched up with hand polish more often because of those conditions.

[@austinmichael7837]

I gotta ask what you mean,or why? in a day or two what does it do?

[@Ogdetectiveshaw]

Cure

[@garysimmons5520]

Why not sand with a 1500 first?

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

[@brudman80]

So, according to what you say, in the video,“If you use less compound, you have less hashmarks“. Right? So if there’s more contact with the wheel that’s doing the work and less compound that’s lubricating the wheel, What is the compound doing? What are “the hashmarks“? This is your learning lesson after two decades of disrespecting me. The term “hashmarks“ is stupid. What you’re talking about is a grade of clarity. This grade of clarity in your video is a number six. Because, there are still lines from the work being done. Number seven is clarity.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Thanks for watching.

[@MrSprocket2u]

That is sex ... brilliant work guys :)

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

That is metal polishing lol... thank you.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

I don't recommend it buddy.

HAY EVAN CAN YOU BUFF OUT 320 GRIT

[@selfmadeproductions934]

YES BUT IT WILL BE HARD

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

It's possible, yes.

[@Joelittle_]

Just a fyi it’s about to be a blood bath in the trucking industry imo. love the channel though.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Thank you for watching!

[@xChromerSatanasx]

lol its kinda funny listening to the terminology. 400- 600 has notjing to do with color or brightness. the SHOW BROWN and regular brown is funny. if chrome platers could see this it would be comedy.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Happy to amuse. Thanks for watching.

He’s going too fast! You have hashmarks! You have hashmarks on your finished product too!

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Thanks for watching.

I’ll see if you have hashmarks after Two more decades. And we’ll see where you’re at in life.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@brudman80]

The number between six and seven is the laziness of this generation. In the old generation, there was no distinction between the two because there was no laziness, so get it right! Get back to me in 20 years.
