You still have the polished wheels or burned out on cleaning them? How are they holding out and what do you recommend between brushed, chrome or polished?
Hello everyone, Iv been considering a set of American force wheels, iv heard they are amazing. How often should I put a polish on them? Once a month? Is it OK to use a buff power ball? Or by hand only?
So using a hand polish on a power ball or by hand on micro fiber if you daily drive the truck I would do them once a week or as often as possible , if you don’t daily drive the truck then about once a month. This will preserve the finish for a long time before having to have them “machine polished” using airway buff wheels & rouge compound (extensive process) so the more you keep them washed and hand polished the longer they will stay super glassy and shiny!! Hope this helps.
Very nice job! I am learning (slowly) about polishing these wheels and you have helped with new products to try and especially the technique. The one question I have - do you wash the microfiber cloths you use and if so, do you use a special detergent? I am tempted to toss the rags at this point, but that seems wasteful :)
Yes use Zephyr Pro 50 Eliminator ! Here’s a link zephyrpro40.com/collections/polishes-waxes-cleaners-protectants/products/pro-50-eliminator-water-spot-remover
I thought you meant a cleaner for the wheels , as far as rags I toss them…. I’m wasteful , a lot of people wash them but I didn’t want the woman yelling at me wasn’t sure if they’d destroy a washer lol!!
When you run out, switch to zephyr pro 40 or pro 25. If you wanna start using a rotary buffer, get the super shine zephyr kit. It will change your life. Good video man! Trick gonna look great but it did before lol.
Thanks man and yes of course i have the full kits for machine polishing but I just keep these cleaned so much usually only use my machine polish kit on customers polished wheels or when doing curb rash repair on wheels for customers ! THANKS for watching. Much appreciated.
I have tried both metal polish & polish for paint before , I would start with paint polish first. If you need something with a little more grit then go to metal polish then finish with paint polish.
I bought forged aluminum American Force wheels, had them ceramic coated. Less than a year later I've noticed water spots and swirl marks that I cannot remove. I read that 1/2 vinegar to 1/2 warm water will do the trick. Doesn't work for me. What would be my next move?
Yes, they can be ceramic coated too. But if you only have a ceramic spray (like Meg's) then that is good, just doesn't last as long. Not sure why Justin didn't ceramic coat them like he did with the truck.
I am too anal about having them clean and polishing them before shows. Just like to keep them hand polished man. I don’t like ceramic coat on them honestly
I think they make some special laundry detergent you can wash them in , of course pre wash them in a sink first then use the special soap. I think zephyr makes it called microfiber wash soap or something. Maybe it’s chemical guys. It may stain it but if it’s clean definitley reusable after a wash

Awesome video! Do you wash your dirty microfiber towels that you used for polishing?

@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH Yep! That's what I was thinking :) I will just use the least expensive ones from Rag Company. It's a cost of doing business.

JUSTINHAWKSMITH heck yeah. Where are you located?
Stephen Brewer I am in Kentucky!
I have AF black wheels and have some faint scratching done by a poor detailer. Can this polish be used on black wheels??
I have tried both metal polish & polish for paint before , I would start with paint polish first. If you need something with a little more grit then go to metal polish then finish with paint polish.
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH That company sells a polish for paint? Not seeing it.
No I would recommend any paint polish really. Chemical guys , adams polishes, mcguires..
Am I able to polish American Force aluminum forged ceramic coated wheels? What are my options?
Ceramic coat on polished ain’t my thang. Best thing to do is have them sanded & polished. Cut & colored then just keep them maintained
I had asked if you could put a coat of polish over a ceramic coated wheel. You misunderstood my question.
Thanks
Roy
Hell yeah brother 🤟🏻 sick video with great tips
Thanks for checking it out! Appreciate the support.

Can you send me pics of the spot on Instagram my username is same as my UA-cam channel
Would ceramic spray wax be good for polished wheels?
Yes, they can be ceramic coated too. But if you only have a ceramic spray (like Meg's) then that is good, just doesn't last as long. Not sure why Justin didn't ceramic coat them like he did with the truck.

Brian Smith I have a brand new set of AF and I was thinking bout ceramic coating it before I put them on.
🙌🙌 looks good brother! Might have to get some polished wheels for my F150 🤔
What’s all the stuff you used?
What’s the best way to get the black stuff off the micro fibers
I think they make some special laundry detergent you can wash them in , of course pre wash them in a sink first then use the special soap. I think zephyr makes it called microfiber wash soap or something. Maybe it’s chemical guys. It may stain it but if it’s clean definitley reusable after a wash
