You are an icon in the truck game Evan, about time for you to step off, enjoy life and let your crew handle things.
Appreciate that brother. Thank you for watching.
Wow
When I was driving for an oil company with lots of polish I used to do this by hand
What you did in 2 minutes took me an hour
I've had 24 years of practice. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I found a method on rough diamond plate that works decently. Wool pad with zephyr pro40. Of course the damaged bits arent gonna be the greatest but trust me. It helps alot.
Wool pads always help on diamond plate no matter what hand polish you use. Great comment.
"It's cheaper to replace to box than it is for me to use my time." I cannot tell you how much that statement helped me. I had to play this back to remind myself today. Thank you for all the education my friend. Keep up the good work!
Truly happy to hear that this is helpful for you. Sometimes we need little reminders. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
Then learn how to work faster

Thanks for the upload! Our fire truck is due for a Time 2 Shine.
Far from perfect…Perfect from far. Keep ‘em comin Evan!
Lol, that's what I'm doing right now is my fire truck
Joe I have a 1965 Fire Truck decades past time to shine.Is the metal your shining made of aluminum or steel diamond plate? What is your combination are you using?
You have to have more done then I do. It has taken a long time to do anything I Do. Like now I'm having to resize the holes on the pump control panel since the factory didn't do it the first time
Will do! Love knowing that people are finding these videos interesting and helpful. Thank you for watching.
I don’t know how you polish the edge of the battery box without the polisher getting jerked out of your hand.
You have to have your buffer wheel turning downward at the bottom. If not, it will hang on the edge
Lmao I was just now thinking I wish you would do a diamond plate video. Wow it just popped up
I read your mind lol. Hope this is helpful. Thank you.
That’s sick pops!
👴 Thanks son. Kidding I really appreciate you watching. Thank you!
I don't know when you made this video but today where everything is it's not cheaper to replace the Box
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
thank you
i will do my headache rack box with it
Thanks for watching!
I’m using same product and far as I can tell same method, my question is I’ll get black immediately and pain in the but to get off. The black happens before I get the polished effect.
Preciate the upload!!!
I appreciate you watching!!!! Thank you!
Love it! Keep them coming
Thanks! Will do!
Hey Evan, great channel and work! I'm a Merchant Mariner. Our Engine Room is outfitted with Alluminum Diamond Plate decks. The crew wants to polish out our deck, nothing crazy for show. Can you recommend a set up for us? Polisher, Wheels.& Polish?
Keep up the great work!
Thank you. If you could please email ellen@goshineon.com, she can help you with products and shipping.
Can you share the name of the product you are using (orange and green one) and the type of pad? Thanks.
All of my products can be found on my website and www.goshineon.com
What style buffer pad is this? I'm a Maritime Captain and our diamond deck plates are in serious need of TLC. We have wool polishing bonnets but they don't seem tough enough for the job we have ahead.
We use airway pads from goshineon.com. If your diamond plate is really rough start with the red buff and brown rouge. Then hit it with your wool bonnet with some time2shine aluminum polish. Then hit it with the orange buff and brown rouge. Then your wool bonnet and t2s aluminum polish again. Repeat the heavy steps as many times as necessary. Then switch to a white buff with green rouge to finish it up when it has a great shine.
Why after I polish, I use a terry cloth and it scratches the aluminum??
Have you tried using the red satin abrasive wheel then cut and color?
Was thinking the same thing
Great job! Even better was the quick and easy polishing. Waste no time.
My work van has heavy oxidized aluminum wheels about 9 yrs old. Was contemplating replacing with new aluminum wheels. Much easier to replace however it will cost about 1k to replace. Will this method work on aluminum wheels!
This process does work on aluminum wheels also but check out my how to polish wheel videos for a better process. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel.
Tell me something why I do get scratches one way but not the other
You should check out my video about hashmarks. It will explain this very well. Hope you find it helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What kind of wheels are you using? Mine always frays and comes apart, what color bar ?
We use all time2shine buffs and compounds from goshineon.com
Cheaper to go to ace and just get a diamond panel if that’s what you like an bolt onto box or slap a chrome smooth panel
Cheaper doesn’t always mean better. Your idea is what’s called ‘ghetto’.
To each their own I guess. Thank you for stopping by to watch and taking the time to comment.
Yellow/brown and white/green?
How much do you charge for the face of that box. Because I did a box 4 times that size in about 45 min. And charged 130$ how can you not make any money on a 5 min job??
Hey Evan, can you tell me what polish and airway wheels you used on this? Would love to purchase from your store if possible.
We use all Time2Shine buffs and compounds from goshineon.com. Are you looking for the specific buffs in this video or was this a general question. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need a more specific answer.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing No, thanks this is perfect buddy. Go Bears. (LOL, just kidding the bears suc)
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing what are the exact wheels and polishes you're using in this video? I bought a cheap kit and it's been kicking my butt to get quality like yours. If possible, do you have a link through your site for this exact set up?
Do you ever acid wash before polishing?
No. I avoid using acid.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing so how do you clean dirty diamond plate before you polish it?
The 🐐
I appreciate that. I wouldn't say the greatest though. Thank you
What size angle grinder is that?
Information is in the description on this video.
You don't have the buff at your store. Where can I get them?
We have them at goshineon.com
You always make it look so easy lol
Practice lots of practice. Thanks for watching.
What rpm do you use ?
6000 rpm
SAME I CAN.T DO DIMEST PLAT
It is tough buddy.
You didn’t show how to clean and prep
Maybe next time. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment on the video.
Homeboy needs to address the oil all over the stepbox before getting his truck polished. Some people, they make no sense.
Appreciate you watching!
Can scratches be removed
