WATCH TILL THE END to see the trailer for this Saturdays detail! You don't want to miss this one! Also... thanks to a generous valet guy for restructuring my rims lol

[@-curedetailing2162]

Hahahahaha What can't you do? It's really cool. Excellent. It's really perfectly restored the wheels. I will practice by watching the video again and again.

[@charleennicholson6280]

🙄🙄🙄🙄 Wow, thank goodness you knew how to fix it, that sucks!!!!

[@claudedjawoye6345]

Not to sure

[@Nimsealyfilmsphoto]

I always love how you show us how to do things without expensive tools. I’m just a college student who loves cleaning stuff lol. It’s nice knowing I don’t need $500+ machines. Love your videos! I always recommend them.

[@lketchemonia]

A $500 dollar attitude is all that's needed

[@skodakatie7341]

The wheel looked amazing after being restored, like brand new!!.

[@denisherceg]

One of the best videos when it comes to rim restoration. Well done!

[@i-am-nem]

Hard to watch a man do auto work in flip flops, but you do you sir. Lol great vid

[@NJFPV]

Old comment, but I just figured I'd throw out there that I just did a new charge pipe, turbo outlet pipe, downpipe, and brakes in crocks.

[@Taylor666CR]

Hey man, thank you for this great video, you did an amazing job restoring those wheels 😎🙌 God bless you and everyone who watches this video 🙏

[@gachasleepy]

Those fudge cookies are amazing! I love them

[@ShellyBHollis]

Perfect and thank you. This is how I'll be spending my weekend for my 4 series.

[@SPAZWIK82]

Lots of good info! I’m restoring some old Honda wheels that have curb rash and pitting from de-icer. I used a lot of these steps and products except I used glazing putty so I didn’t have to use hardener and I also had to let all the air out of tires so the index cards would slide and stay in place.

[@merayhamra7817]

Wow just wow I can’t believe it’s that easy to do. Amazing thanx for sharing

[@user-dx8ql4mk8f]

Great job. That looks fantastic . WOW! Great job. Well done!.

[@fredastaire6156]

super excited about doing this myself. I just bought some old, questionable BBS gold rims (saved over 2100 bucks because they are rare rims). I have the potential to save so much money. Not to mention I have a Black Widow sprayer that I believe will give me some banging results!! thank you so much for posting this!! I am so grateful to you!!

[@jmarkr100]

Great job!

[@tkn24s]

And it was all done with flip fops. Respect for you sir.! Thank for the tips, im going to do this with my honda wheels..

[@RhapsodyBD]

Mine definitely needs this

[@moosefishing2743]

Wow wasn't going to but now I will do it myself. The video is of high quality, well done sir.

[@touvang1989]

Very nice I gonna try this mythic out on my STANCE wheels.

[@user-vv5bs5oy4i]

Looks fantastic and what a fine job! The only thing is any paint cans supplied in the UK piss out of the can sideways and leave large paint drops on the surface. Yours looks great though!

[@MrNebunii]

Nice job 👍 very nice job 👍

[@pwn1966]

Nice job!

Thank you

[@surelynot3647]

Great job thanks

[@chilliepunjab4485]

Good video and nice tastey work 👍

[@stemmentor9700]

Worth giving a try as curb rash on 4 tires was an estimated 800-1200$. I was thinking of doing this, but concerned about possibly leaving rim unbalanced with bondo. also wife’s car has 2 tone paint with high gloss black in between spokes. Will be interesting. I just know them curbs come right back at ya later 😛

[@DannySebahar]

The weight of the metal that was scraped off will be heavier than the weight of the Bondo you apply. Bonda is pretty light and its purpose really is only to fill in holes. Once you have applied the Bondo you sand it down to the level it was before the gouge. Only the gouge will be filled in ideally.

[@dridex223]

you can always go get your wheels balanced when done, still cheaper than buying new wheels or getting them fixed. if you believe it’s necessary that is.

[@yamo_chan]

I didn’t even know you could fix that stuff on your own. Made a dumb mistake when I was younger (knew I’d nick the curb but for some unknown reason decided to keep going anyways.... not my brightest moment) and got a small area scratched up. Everything else is perfect, so it’s always bugged me, though not enough to pay someone to fix. Now I can do it myself!

Glad it was helpful!

[@vitofelle5256]

Very very good

[@charleennicholson6280]

Holy smokes... I've learned everything about taking care of the aesthetic of my vehicle from you, and this is just gravy. So AMAZING. Is this a personal vehicle or a job for a client? If it's a client, about how much do you charge for this service on a wheel? Great work I'm so so so IMPRESSED, as usual 😎😎😎♥️🍺

[@phiillzzz807]

Something like this can be charged around 75$/wheel.. even more if its powder coated

[@fahimshaik2740]

I paused half way. It's 5pm here in South Africa. I'm glad I paused. What a relaxing video AND STRESS RELIEVER AFTER A LONG DAY AT WORK. THANKS MR. JAMES.... Unfortunately I'm lazy AF. And won't be attempting this P.S. lucky my car has wheel caps LOL. That reminds me. I need to do an oil change .. the oil I've bought almost a month ago,, LMAO

[@woodrowboudreaux9951]

Love your honesty. Arthritis sucks.

[@tareksharara9861]

Bravo 👍

[@liammcknight3845]

Awesome instructional! Im about to fix up and repaint my rims. Only thing is I would not mix the Bondo filler and hardener on a Porous surface because it gives and incorrect ratio. Use plastic, metal or glass.

[@MultiColiflower]

man i remember watching your channel years ago when you were making videos on your red ek hatch, crazy how much your channel has grown

[@Fenrir11119]

This is a very interesting video but you need to be very careful around the edges. If you grind past the lowest point of the damage you are making it thinner and sharper. So if you hit a pot hole after the tire will go into the lip and get cut. You also end up changing the shape of the wheel. So you just need to be careful depending on the type of damage you have. It may be best to have them professionally finished depending on the severity.

[@thomaswild2957]

which part "professionals" are doing different?

[@kurt359]

Lol

[@zappedcustomdesigns788]

@@thomaswild2957 welding metal to the wheel then shaping that back to original.

[@DIYwithBB]

Yeah with a professional price tag attached to the job. 😂 I’ll take my chances with how he did it. I was quoted almost $1000 for my 4 rims. When I can spend about $100 in materials and do it myself.

[@avexcas]

@@DIYwithBB Bruh, for a 1600 i can find new wheels and sell the olds for 400-500... lmao

Kkkkkk Blink é uma das minhas bandas favoritas kkkk belo trabalho na roda ficou como zera

[@lassei4659]

Great video. Little tip. When mixing your epoxy, always a mixing board that doenst absorb the chemicals, plastic bag over the cardboard or a plastic cuttingboard.

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks for the info!

[@stephens8175]

Well done! The wheel turned out great!

Thanks a bunch!

Its called parking by sound

[@matthewsmith218]

Man like manwell

[@rickspearman344]

So what happens to the "BONDO" when the tire gets removed? Or do you simply sell the car prior to the tires wearing out?

[@michaelm4021]

This is a first-rate instructional video. Thank you very much for posting it. I do have a QUESTTION about Clear Coat. Recently, I restored the wheels on my C5 Corvette using the process described in this video. For the most part, they look beautiful! I used "Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating, Gloss Black" for the Paint Coat. However, I did not apply the "Dupli-Color Wheel Gloss CLEAR COAT". By not applying the Clear Coat, will that create a problem in the future? Thank you to anyone who feels compelled to answer my question (:

[@yessanknow302]

No one is interested.

[@davida871]

Sorry no one provided feedback sooner. Clear coat is a protective layer for UV damage so black gloss may not last. Lightky scuff with 400-600 to remove gloss to matt finish then respray black gloss then clear with 2k from Eastwood and your set.

[@stevewilliams6191]

Wow that's a fantastic job right there!👍

[@northshorepx]

Thankyou for showing us how to do this. I like this new kind of video!
