I've been watching videos all day trying to pick a strategy for cleaning the filthy rusty wheels I just got. I'm using this one hands down the most impressive video I've watched thank you and beautiful truck.

Starting to look great, yep get rid of the rack for sure. You gave me a great idea for my fifth wheel wheels!

[@indalecioandrade6017]

Just watched it . Great job .

[@davidshettlesworth1442]

excellent video, well done. Thank You.

[@jamesbond9982]

That came out clean

[@chestermeeks4321]

Looks good good job

[@sherlockhomesky]

That looks great. Never thought to use a peneteating spray on rims. Thumbs up!

[@derrickford5492]

thanx for the wd40 tip, i also use a 800grit scotch bright pad they sell at lowes that gives great results on its own. wasted a lot of money on wheel cleaning products and sometimes you just cant beat old school with a little elbow grease.....

[@georgemullin7772]

Wow exalant job young man vary nice job

[@JeLifeCoach]

Beautiful truck. I didn’t know scotch bribe and wd40 could clean up so much. My main question is when do you sand and use diff grits of SP verse the scotch brite? Does how heavy the wheels are soiled determine that?

[@timellsworth7098]

Nice

[@jon6537]

love the truck, what size ties? I have the same truck that I am working on! but with 351.

SOS pads work well on aluminum to.

What do you recommend for wheels where the clear coat has come off

[@larryfetter]

Where can I find the center caps?

[@josephklimchock5412]

Nice job, I have almost same wheels, but Alcoa 16 inch on my E350 Super Duty.......the front wheels pit real bad from the metallic brake dust if I let it stay on the wheel even for one week.......Hard to find non metallic pads that will provide the non fading stopping power......I may try some carbon fiber?......Gonna have to deep polish the 2 fronts, rears not bad at all..........

[@galehess6676]

good tips, did you find good pads to use? one week, what a pain lol i am going to have to solve this too, stripping right now

[@natem.007]

Where’s you get that thicker wheel trim from!

[@James-qq2vq]

What wax did you use?

[@tnargdonald]

Looks for wheel cleaning video….. finds the wheels I need to clean!

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Beautiful job on the wheels man. Great looking truck. Question, my 97 f250 has the factory wheels. In great shape but I want to polish but it looks as if the aluminum has a clear coat? Does that sound correct ya think? And if so, will the scotch bright screw the finish up? Just wasn't sure. Thanks for any advice

[@154thesteve]

Factory wheels do have clear. If yours is faded like mine. I had to strip them. Then polish like he did. This makes it so you can just polish when you wash your truck. Or you can re clear so you don’t have to keep polishing. Mine had places where the clear cracked so I pretty much had no choice to strip the clear off. Hope this helps. There also videos on how to strip the clear off

@@featheredcoyote5477 didja do it? . sounds like after stripping gotta prevent corrosion with annual polishing, no biggie... i am in process this minute of spraying on stripping a 2nd set of alcoas for my 97, going to run studded Nokian studded in winter, and put on yokohama AT's on both trucks in summer

[@featheredcoyote5477]

@@galehess6676 I did not..sold the 7.3 while prices were over inflated.

[@galehess6676]

@@featheredcoyote5477 thx though. I just bought a spare '00, I will get my value out of it. 150k, $18,5, mint, absolutely mint. Prob worth twice that to the right guy in New Jersey lol The stripper pealed it off easily in 5 minutes. (and on 2nd thought, As she should lol)

[@rudymendoza_]

What size tires do you run on these wheels

[@indalecioandrade6017]

0000 steel wool with some polish works nice to make it shine

[@Marc15663]

Is the fender trim factory or from like LMC or some other aftermarket?

[@TaylorSmithAutomotiveChannel]

I picked up the fender lip trim on eBay. Cost around $85 shipped. I believe LMC carries them as well, but eBay was cheaper. They are good quality too.

[@galehess6676]

strip clear coat with spray on paint stripper $20 can did 4 OBS ford wheels alcoa aluminum, and wear $17 p95 respirator from Harbor Freight unless you prefer cancer when you're 50 works in about 5 minutes, sometimes a bit longer, up to 40 minutes maybe, keep it wet with stripper or gets gummy, can re-wet and wipe off with paper towels easily. can use scotch brite pads or orange bags from grocery store to loosen the bits, but really they wipe off, or re-spray and wait 5 m... light scuff with sand paper doesn't hurt, just scuff clear, and the action of the stripper will be faster. takes about 10m to spray, 10m to wait 10m to wipe off... do on 60F day, not 80F, out of direct sunlight so keeps wet

[@charliekirsch8051]

Its not this hard, just get some of that orange hand cleaner and put it on a rag and rub it on and preassure wash it off, then polish it, also DO NOT go to O'Reilly's
