Thank you Mike we truly appreciate you being here with us :) Have an awesome 2018 my friend

[@SweetProjectCars]

for the rims and tires, plus tax and mounting and balancing it was over 2k...

[@SweetProjectCars]

we don't worry much about aluminum as it can be sanded down and rebuffed over and over, not as much though when we use the special protectant, now you cant do that with chrome, once it is pitted and corroded re-chrome is the only option other than buying new...but we still clear or paint the aluminum rims on the backside only and we do use self-etching where needed.

I want to say thank you for your clear instruction videos for us DYIers. I appreciate that you include us females in your conversations. I LOVE working on cars!

[@Surfer7901]

WOW! Thank you SWEET Sweet Sweet Project Cars! **I put a £10 donation onto PayPal as a thank you**. Genius techniques and this will save me a small fortune! So glad I found this BRILLIANT set of Sweet Project demos on complete conditioning and prevention option for our expensive wheels. This is so well presented, for the beginner like me, you really learn. I'm in the UK where we get horrible salt and suddenly, in the space of less than 6 months, I discovered nasty corrosion under some chipped lacquer (clear coat). This is my next project. Surprising how horribly quickly this bad corrosion happens. YOU OTHER GUYS AND GALS HAVE BEEN WARNED.. We paid a lot of money for our wheels. Let's keep them good. In my case not so much second-hand, but my VW top spec standard rims new would have been something around £1500 a set. One winter of neglect can ruin a wheel, but Sweet P's tells us the genius way to protect. Better than the manufacturer did with one thin coat of clear. -After all, they just love selling wheels. I shall let you see the result when I am finished, I hope.

Hi. I want to start off by saying I your videos! I can appreciate all the hard work that you do and the time it takes to produce a video . I would like to comment on this particular video concerning the clear coat application on the Chrome plated Rim for Corrosion / rust Prevention. I have done this idea several years ago as a a test along with other ideas i had. They all were done at my shop , as it was my goal to prevent corrosion and rusting of rims regardless of what they were coated with . A few problems that I have faced is the clear coat will not stay on that Rim unless you scuff that surface and even if scuffed or sanded it still peeled off , but took a little longer. As you know the rim faces a lot of brutal challenges along with constant rocks and debris hitting it. And visiting the local detailer whos using whatever wheel acid that's on sale that month just worsens the situation . I have had these ideas fail and it was very disconcerting because of the time that it took it to do it . Also it seems to me the corrosion, rust, and bubbling of the Chrome starts & continues from underneath from the slightest bit of moisture entering through a seam or a hairline crack in the coating? There's nothing that I could find that would prevent it. Water would find the weakest point and eventually creep in , and it will not take years for this to happen either . I'm sorry to admit all of my testing failed and seemed doomed to happen just from a little bit of moisture getting underneath . It will start and it will grow like cancer . I'm not bashing you by any means, I think you do a great job with your videos and your knowledge however I do want to share this tidbit with you. I think this particular idea will not work for the long run or more than 2 years. Thank you for all your great videos

[@SweetProjectCars]

joe thank you for the comment...all our rims are sanded and we have never had a customer come back in 20 years where their wheels were peeling from our work, as we use the highest quality 2k clears and we have done 100's of wheels with no issues, one secret is to keep them clean in the winter when they are salting the roads. other than we have never had issues with what you are mentioning.

That's a great idea... I was never that big of a fan of chrome so I started coating all my wheels with plastidip both inside and out and if it got bad on the outside of the wheel I just peeled the plastidip off and re-shot wheel.

WOW! So many great tips here, Sweet! I have a couple of additional comments and a question. 1) A buddy of mine who happens to be a top Jaguar (mostly E-Types) mechanic told me that UV is VERY bad for chrome- your technique protects against that very well! 2) I have been changing out my chromed Acorn lugnuts every few years or so (due to rust and peeling of the chrome), I never thought of "clearing" them. Thanks. 3) I recommend putting some oil based lubricant (or maybe anti-seize) on the chamfer of the lugnuts- as you say, oil is the enemy of corrosion. My question: You cleaned off the glue from a previous wheel weight, but I noticed you did not disturb the existing wheel weight on the rim used in this video. Do you think it would be worth removing said weight to treat the rims and re-balance? As one changes tires over time, the weights will end up in a different place on the rim, requiring more efforts to prevent corrosion.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Greg, you will need to remove the clear coat, make positive that your wheels are hard chrome coated and not vacuum chromed. Then polish them up following the video instruction. If you live in salty areas, I highly suggest you use this amzn.to/3lgx0W1 to clear coat them shown in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5fOlIeqnL2Hitk We have tons of videos on wheels, you can learn a lot.

GREAT VIDEO! How would you address this for painted wheels? I've been struggling w satin black painted wheels. The only product I use with success as far as making the wheels look rich "black" is a product I've been getting from a friend. I'm wondering if I clear coat the satin will it maintain the look like when the wheels were new? I've only used them a few months and unless I use this product my wheels look dull on the barrels. The outer part is machined with a clear coat. thanks

[@melodicdreamer72]

I didn't do much to maintain my chrome S95 Cobra wheels and didn't think anything of it until earlier this year when I took the car out and heard this horrible clanking sound. I thought there was some brake problem or something else more serious before finding the chrome had peeled up and started to make contact with the brake caliper. While that chrome might be thinner than what's on the outer surface, it is thick enough to make a heck of a racket when it gets like that. It looks like eventually I'll have to have the wheels refinished. I don't think there is any saving it as they are now. Bummer...

Wondering if one of the spray on rinse off silica sealant products might work fairly well and be easier then all this at least if you do it before your wheels get too dirty/worn down. I jst got some clear coated wheels I was thinking of trying the ceramic stuff on.

[@SweetProjectCars]

TheTruth4313 you can do this as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/nanSppyEjZ19g5I watch our process to ceramic coating wheels. thanks The Hammer

[@marlonalva]

Hello Mike! Thank you again for another great vid! 👍🏼👍🏼 Question, I live in NC and we don’t have much problem with corrosion here, do I really need the clear coating on my wheels? Will the clear help to keep them cleaner longer? I’m watching ALL your Cleaning Wheels videos because I’m about to polish my aluminum wheels. I’ll be using all your techniques and products. 😎 Sweeet!!

[@SweetProjectCars]

Watch this Marlon kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5fOlIeqnL2Hitk it's fantastic! Thank you very much for watching and asking, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

How do you know when yours rims are too far gone I got big bubble like flakes. And how much should one of the jobs cost for a whole set off chrome ? Thx

[@SweetProjectCars]

if you chrome is peeling and or bubbling they are too far gone my friend you will have to buy new

[@washurs2178]

I have a question sir. On the mother's mag and aluminium polish it says not use on chrome. You use it on chrome. Have you ever seen any negative reactions on the chrome from it?

[@SweetProjectCars]

we have never had an issue with chrome we use it all the time thanks so much for your great comment and support of the SPC channel :)

[@MrEyad1990]

[@SweetProjectCars]

tim wilhelmson thank you very much my friend :)

I have a 2006 Honda Goldwing. The wheels are notoriously difficult to clean (and keep clean). Will this method work on them, too? (Probably a better question for the Sweet Scoots channel?)

[@SweetProjectCars]

Howard how are you today we launched a detailing video last week and Sweet Scoots and it may help you out on your wheels have a great night

[@stromthomason9177]

Can the rim job be used on painted wheels , if not what’s best . I have new wheels in the box and would like to start them out protected. Thx.

[@SweetProjectCars]

it sure can be used on black rims thanks so much for your great comment and support of the SPC channel :)

[@israelmartinez6438]

Anyway to treat salt pitting on chrome wheels?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Hello Israel, the only way you are going to do that is to have them re-chromed but it's always best to compare pricing on that vs. buying new chrome rims. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@troy9864]

Awesome video! Question though: How about when it comes time to have your wheel balanced at the shop and they have to scrape the old wheel weights off the inside? Wouldn't this damage the clear coat?

[@SweetProjectCars]

tee roy when they move the weights to another place on the rim when blanaced you will just re-clear the area where the weight previously was located thank you very much for your great comment and we are glad we can help :)

[@petercrutchley6085]

Excellent video as always. Many thanks and best wishes for 2018.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Peter my friend thanks so much for your great comment and support of the SPC channel :)

[@jeffpalmer5502]

Would the ceramic coating work as well or better?

[@SweetProjectCars]

In my opinion the ceramic coating that we use would almost out last standard clearcoat by three or four years so yes I believe it Would Out perform any clearcoat out there

[@onlylexus]

Does it work on alloy wheels? Aluminum?

[@SweetProjectCars]

It sure does Paul. Thank you for watching and asking, hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@mikeb6386]

Wish they did video two months ago before all the salt on the road. It was warm too.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Mike I know sorry we are so backlogged with videos to do thanks so much for your great comment and support of the SPC channel :)

[@bobbymartin7266]

I have what might sound like a stupid question, I just purchased a car that was the victim of very sad and lazy owners. It has 20” chrome wheels and the chrome has bubbles under it in 2 of the wheels but hasn’t broken out.Is there any way to repair it without having to have them stripped and redone with new chrome?

[@bobbymartin7266]

Oh yea, I hate chrome wheels!!!!

[@SweetProjectCars]

Bobby, there is no real way to fix the chrome by hand they will need to be re-chromed or buy new and then treat them per the video so you will never have that issue again :)

[@LittleJimmyNorton]

Great video! I like how u clear coated the inside, but I have a question. I have a Corvette I drive in mostly good weather here in NJ, but our streets are loaded with brine and salt and take months to clear up. I am ordering a set of chrome rims and plan on wiping them down with alcohol and coating them with Wipe new before tire installation. I personally think that stuff is awesome, what is your opinion on wipe new, although I am considering doing the clearcoat on the inside like u did and using the wipe new on the face. What is your opinion?

[@LittleJimmyNorton]

Although my concern with the clearcoat is chipping, because of the thickness. My stock rims are polished and clear coated and clear coat chipped away on the inside area.

[@SweetProjectCars]

LittleJimmyNorton I own 2 corvettes and only use this on them my friend goo.gl/z9TrgR

[@graz-e.m.s]
