If you guys have any questions regarding the process, drop them down below and I'll answer them for you 👇👇
How long did it take you to do one wheel ?
it took me about 2-3 hours in total to do the 1 rim
Could you not clear Lacquer the edge up lightly or is it not possible? I have some water marks under the lacquer in very small places and thought I might be able to buff down with paste them mist them lightly with clear lacquer?
You don't clear coat over the sanded area?
😊😊@@doreenpretorius1859
I repair these rims every day i spray brilliant fine sliver over the repairs then clear over the top to seal it.
I curb my rim similar to yours. When I sent a company pics, they said $100, but after I watched your video, it was free99. Your system works. Keep up the good job.
That is awesome!
The Recipe is: you need to wipe off every scratch with sand paper (I used for my deeper scratches 120(dry) > 320(dry) > 500(wet) > 800 (wet) > 1000 (wet) > 2000(wet) ), then polish it to 'mirror' effect with Autosol for Aluminium or Metal, degrease it and then spray it when it's completely dry. I suggest to use hands only. Do NOT use any machines for that because you can make it even worse. Alloy wheels are very soft.
Spray with clear coat, u mean?
im assuming all rims have a clear coat and you should replace it? @@moizjabbar7955
Thanks so much for this bud, curbed my alloy yesterday and I haven't been able to sleep since.... Definetly going to do this asap🙏🏻💯
Hope the video helped to save your wheels!
How did it go?
Brilliant video. This method worked amazingly well on my VW Cadiz diamond cut which I badly scraped yesterday. A couple of hours later and it's looking almost as good as new. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Respect.
Thanx for reaching out! Glad my video was able to help you restore your wheels 👌🏻👌🏻
Great video. I will be repairing my diamond cut wheels this weekend. 😎👍🏾
Brilliant job 👏🏽 thank you for making a detailed video
You did a fantastic job mate,I’ve got a bad one you’ve inspired me going to do it.
Done a good job removing the damage as it’s impossible to replicate the machine cut original but really should mention if you leave it like that it will start corroding instantly so it’s either keep polishing the rim or lacquer it. Diamond cut wheels can be a pain in the rear!
Daaaaaaamn buddy that was a great save ! So glad you managed to fix the damage.
Thanx bud, at first I was SUPER annoyed with myself for curbing a wheel, but felt much better after the repair job !
Amazing job done, very professional. Representing RSA!!!!
Do you seal the rim of the wheel with a clear coat or any other type of sealant?
Doesn’t look like he did but you would want to clear it. Otherwise the aluminum can tarnish. Other than that I like his method.
Well done, tnx for the video. One normally thinks it is an expensive task, but on the contrary. Your rim looks amazing. Tnx for not making it to complicated and I'm sure lots of car owners will appreciate your video. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you for the message. I was thinking of sending the wheel in for repair at first, but decided to try a DIY method to see if I could maybe fix it before sending it in. At the end of the day, no need to spend hundreds of rand getting it fixed. Very happy with the outcome at the end of the day ✌🏻
I've got exactly the same style wheels as yours for my Audi! They look lovely!
What an outcome😱! Thats some great work and very useful! Thanks!
Thank you my buddy ✌🏻 I’m extremely happy with how it turned out. Couldn’t have asked for a better result
Looks brand new again. Great video ! So happy to see the channel doing good
Thank you for the support 👋
Thanks buddy.. really detailed so I am gonna have a go at my curbed AMG. Selling the car so have to fix it but cost of refurb is at least £80 plus vat per wheel here in the U.K. I will let you know if it goes T up
Excellent work buddy! Always coming up with new ideas
Thank you ! Trying to show everyone you don’t need to pay an arm and a leg for basic stuff you can do at home
I would say that's damn close to perfect. Well Done Sir.
Absolutely outstanding
Awesome work. Thanks for the vid..
Very nice, glad I found your video
That looks great!
JOH that looks about brand new !! Epic stuff et
Thanx my buddy I am very pleased with the outcome 😎
Thanx my buddy I am very pleased with the outcome 😎
This video just saved me £400! Well done mate I'll subscribe for this 🤙
Glad that my video could be of assistance buddy ✌ thank you for subbing
Very nice work!
It is so painful when this happens... but you have done a super job..
looks perfect to me!!!!
great video. What about if you have a layer of clear cote?
Also I have corrosion from where it’s been curbed. Any suggestion? Cheers
The lines are from the lathe, they turn the wheel and that's how they make the shiny portion.
Nice vid Etienne. Its gonna help me fix both mine and my wife's cars. Lekka SA content!
i spray mine with clear through my airbrush..i bought 2 part clear for $50 and have been doing lots of airbrush touchups - works great!!
Thank you for the feedback
Good job you just saved me alot of money
Great job!
Good job mate 🤜🤛
I just did the same thing on wheels with the exposed metal parts but the scratches are deep. Barely touched the curb too, so mad at myself and gutted. I'm praying the deeper scratches come out
What is the best diamond cut polish to use?
Great result mate. I wished I watched this video earlier. I just paid £120 each for two diamond cut alloys on my bmw. The wheel company told me diamond cut alloys can only be repaired by a lathe machine hence it took 3 days in there body shop for them to do the repairs. Having watched your video now I now realise this can be done at home!
I was told they will peel if done whitout lathe
I work in a body shop and still took my Mercedes wheels to a wheel company , the reason is they powder coat them. If you leave wheels like this they will corrode in no time, they can be lacquered like a car body but even that is not robust enough for wheels, the water eventually gets in under the paint and that’s when you see all those white powdery wheel about. You did the best thing trust me!
great job man
I followed your method and it has created a shiny area on the rim of my Audi wheels where I have sanded it back in comparison to the rest of the wheel! Do you think I need to start again?
should you wet sand with higher grit? looks like wheel had a clear coat, should you apply clear coat when done?
Great video bro
well done👌👌 it look brand new again👌👌
Thank you, at first I was heavily upset with myself but I feel much better now 😃
wow you did a great job man, wanna come to new york and do mine for me haha
Good job! I’m going to try this.
Let me know how it goes dude! You’ll do just fine
@ccd_video ever have any problems with white worm on your diamond cut alloys? Great video.
Good job bro 😎
Omg bro what a difference. I'm going try it . I was to nervous to try it before your video. I have ordered the gear from Ebay I will take before and after shots. I also have a Renault the wheel is on the outside of the tyre( the tyre will not hit the kerb , always the f@$king wherl) . thanks again bro.
Brian Chivers you’ll do just fine buddy. It’s not too hard. Just be patient when sanding ! Let me know how it goes man keen to hear
Fantastic work wow...!!!!!
Thanx buddy
i just did this trying out the auto parking on my 3 series. im so sick! just some little marks but still
Bravo perfect 👍
Great Job!! Cant even tell
I think this video was extremely useful bru.
I always thought I will never buy a diamond cut wheel because the repair costs are insane but I will definitely consider now
Glad I was able to convince you otherwise bud 👌🏻 this was truly a real easy fix with outstanding results
You did a great job.
I have a Mercedes AMG rim and I was disappointed by the same problem, please I would like to help me I want the names of the things you used in the video, although you mentioned them later in the video but I want exactly the things you used please.
The problem I have is in the corner of the rim and not at the rim of the rim as happened with you. Is it possible to fix it in your opinion?
Clear coat to protect the bare rim now boet?
What alloys are you working on? make? model?
What rims are those! I need to buy a set I’ve been looking for some rims that are out of the ordinary.
Wel done , it was a nice repair indeed .
Kamal Ahmed thank you buddy. Still looks as great as the day I did it
You did not do any clear coat painting to polished areas?
Great job. Will try this. Took my wheel off, put it against the wall and it fell face down onto the concrete......not happy but this helps heaps.
Eish that’s no good buddy. My dad did it to one of my Volk’s back in the day and I nearly cried 😭😭 I did not end up fixing them, just sold them
Just curbed my AMG and heartbroken. You made it look easy and good. Don’t know what a repair would cost so I might just follow this. Thx much
Eish sorry to hear about the mishap. Hopefuly my video could be of assistance
Do you lacker it ? How it doesn’t rust ?
Just a tip... When diamond cut was done to a rim... Some people spray clearcoat on the the diamond cut part.... To get the better shine
Thanx buddy, I have no issues with the shine. Some people add clearcoat to prevent them from corroding, but that’s also very debatable on wether they will corrode or not. If they do, I’ll polish them and add clearcoat but from what I have read I should be fine
Clearcoat is a must!
@@CCDVIDEO debatable? They will corrode 100% that's not up for debate, and as your comment was 2 years ago, I bet you know they will corrode without clear coat.
EXCELLENT video, Well Done ! I have a set of alloys that needs to be refurbed. I was going to pay to have them done but I might just have a go myself now. How long did that repair actually take you ? How much is a 100 in GBP ?
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK .
2 goats
how are you able to expose the metal edge of the rim? My tyres are blocking the way. did you have to delfalte the tyres first? thanks!
My fitment allowed me to reach in there, but you can deflate the tire or have it pulled off the rim before doing this job
Fantastic video. This has given me confidence to do my own.
The result was amazing.
Just a question, other videos they apply clear lacquer last off. Is it not needed? To seal against water reaction with the alloy? Asking so I get it right. Thankyou
Tbh a lot of people asked about this. I had the wheels a year before selling them after the repair and never ran into issues again. But, in South Africa our climate is way different than that of the UK for instance
@@CCDVIDEO Very very different my friend. Rain is the normal here. Thankyou. Great videos . Best wishes
@@russellfreakley7064 best of luck restoring your wheels mate 💪🏻
Just curbed my X1's mags on a friken Mc Donald's drive thru🙄 this video is helping alot. Only thing is my mags seem to have a bit deeper damage. Any advice?
Also it's on the black coating so that is all off now. Any advice for paint touch ups, or should I just powder coat my mag?
Hi Chante. I suspect if your damage is too deep you’d have to send it in for a refurbish. I was fortunate enough that my damage wasn’t all that deep at the end of the day
If I’m going to get them powder coated after I fix the curb rash, should avoid the polishing?
It wouldn’t matter if you are going to do powdercoating afterwards. Just ensure that all sanding marks are gone
Very good video. Really interesting and helpful. A very good result.
I learnt a lot !
Did you need to deflate the tyre before starting the sanding?
I did not have to but as you can see I run a stretch fitment so my tire wasn’t in my way at all. But if your tire is in the way you could try to deflate before sanding
Just found out that I curbed my 2019 Accord Grand Touring wheels I have mounted on my 2015 Civic Si Coupe, so sad, some of my favorite wheels. Its not bad, only a couple millimeters high and maybe 3-4 inches on the very edge but still, they were perfect. Very disappointed in myself. Don't know when it happened.
Damn I’m sorry to hear bud, I know exactly what it feels like 💔💔💔
Curbed the rim on my BMW and I was searching for something like this. I got most of the scratches out (a few deep ones are resilient and I don’t want to get rid of a lot of metal). Looks a million times better than it did. Thank you for the video.
I’m thinking of clear coating the fixed part. Part of me wants to use clear plastidip to see how that will help. Any ideas guys?
I’m glad this vid was able to help you. To be honest, I didn’t put a clearcoat over mine, and I drove it about 6months after fixing before I sold the car. When I sold it, it was still mint, but I can’t give you a longer update on that unfortunately
@@CCDVIDEO I have a year left before lease turn in. Hopefully mine lasts till then. Let's see how it goes.
Also depends where you from. I am from Gauteng, South Africa. We experience hotter weather throughout the year. Guess if you are in a place like the UK or Canada where it’s wetter weather, you might end up running into trouble. Hope it makes sense
@@CCDVIDEO Yes it makes perfect sense. I'm in Illinois and the weather goes from hot to freezing cold with lots of rain in between in a year. I think I'll try some plastidip and see how it goes. If that doesn't help, I can redo it and lacquer it or get it professionally redone. Worst case scenario is getting a used rim (which is why I thought I'd try it out myself anyway).
@@CCDVIDEO they throw salt on the roads all winter here - that doesn't help either!
Very impressive outcome!
Thank you. Very worth it 🖤
thats the same wheel I have and curbed it
Moet mens eers die wiel afblaas voor mens moet begin? Want my vrou het besluit om sommer 2 wiele op 1 dag op te donder en moet hulle ook weer mooi try kry sonder om 'n miljoen rand te betaal per wiel.
Ek dink dit sal beter wees om hom af te blaas. Ek het nie nodig gehad nie, bloot omdat my tires gestretch het, so die rim was breer as die tires.
Eish dis nie goeie nuus nie pel 🤕 maar darm maklik om yt te sort. Ekt myne in ‘n oggend reg gekry
You won't get the 'lines' because thats the diamond cut machined finish achieved on the lathe, but to be fair it looks pretty good and you wouldn't notice but I would have definitely put some sort of clear coat on to 'seal's the metal
This video just confirmed that i need to invest in a decent drill as it has Multi purpose.
I don’t think I have ever used mine for drilling tbh 🤣🤣
Thank you for sending this along, I managed to curb my rims heavy. Alot of videos show how to fix curb rash, but not many work with diamond cut. Some have suggested after sanding down to use a clear coat paint to give some protection. I noticed you just used polish for yours. Can you give some advice on this?
TheCoconutstrut i have mot clearcoated over mine and they are STILL doing just fine. I do however has a ceramic coating on my wheels, so after the refurb I just did another coat on that rim. You’ll see when you stary sanding you do actually remove a clearcoat type of layer
@@CCDVIDEO my man, thanks for getting back. Got yourself a sub.
TheCoconutstrut appreciate it a lot. Let me know if you need any help during the process. But if you have patience and follow my steps you’ll be good 👌🏻
Sounds good my dude, I got all the grades of sandpaper, some rubbing alcohol and tape. Haven't gotten the Polish or clear coat, but hope for some progress with what I have. Thanks again for reaching out
Unfortunately without a coat of self etching lacquer this will dull off over a few weeks and oxidise, then need to be redone correctly. It's now bare metal, with any metals weather it be steel or alloy it needs a lacquer.
Keiron Boshell it’s been 4 weeks and still looks the same as the day I did it. Thanx for your concern though
Creative Car Detailing 6 months 12 months you will have the concern
@@squidgyblack3321 to be fair though, it will be easier to give them a quick polish to get the shine back, rather than having to strip down all the lacquer which ALWAYS seems to chip and get water under and drive corrosion - it's happened on all my deep dish wheels in under a year. I'm thinking about stripping them back and polishing like this, then when they start to corrode, give them a quick hand polish and good to go for another 6 months or so - can't be any worse that the usual bubbling cracking lacquer on diamond cut rims.
Obviously it's your choice but the corrosion will eventually pit the alloy and a quick polish will do nothing. Car manufacturers spend millions of pounds developing lacquers and paints a reason. A professionally applied coat of self etching lacquer will only bubble if shipped just like the paint in your bodywork. If there's on clear coat then the chip is more than likely going to damage the wheel. Like I say your choice but as a qualified painter I think it's only fair others watching the video know the facts before stripping the lacquer on their own wheels
You did a good job mate but it's impossible to polish out clear coat to blend with polished aluminium. I have to strip the whole surface and down as you did to the full face to avoid getting those ugly start stop areas in the clear. Then I clear the whole thing again so it doesn't just corrode.
Are you not missing the clear coat?
Did you let the tyre down to do this job.
I did not, mine had nice stretch to it, so there was no need
I didn't see you shoot it with a clear coat ,you will have issue when open to the elements , and you can blend a clear coat in.
Apologies for a silly question but did you deflate the tyre before doing the work? Great result by the way.
I did not, since my wheel setup ran some stretch, but if your tire sits over the rim, I would def deflate it
Did you have any problems with the cleat coat on the black sections of the rims peeling off?
Absolutely none.
The LUP of the RUM 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you not mean the LIP of the RIM ?
Did you not clearcoated it, you wil see it over a bit of time like oxidation
Do you think about 6 so many times a day 😂
Ps good video.
Very impressed bro.... Not something to do 👍
Thanx bro. I felt MUCH better after the refurb. I wanted to cry my eyes out at first
what is the name of these alloy wheels ?
R8 V10+ wheels. Not sure of the name of them
Tried this on my saw blades and fucked it up completely😂 great content though enjoyed the video. Clearly you better at this kinda thing than I am
H- CUE oh shit I’m sorry to hear that 😑😑😑 you def need patience when doing this
@@CCDVIDEO I was using my dremel and managed to make the scratches deeper. Sad thing is I wasn't even the cause of the initial damage a taxi on the n2 drove into my rim with the corner of his bull bar😡
Wees eerlik tjom. Jy het die wiel aspris gekrap net vir die video. 😜
Tempting maar f#k mag ek nie so desperaat wees vir content nie 🤣🤣🤣
I came to see what CURBRA SH REPAIR is !
List of tools needed please
3:18 😊
I'm so mad at myself 😡, and the thing is a barely scaped so little that its noticeable if you try and look for it so I don't know if I should leave it or do something about it
It’s not repaired. Only way to bring back to oem is on a CNC lathe
Nvm, sold it about 9months later without any issues again
Fixed it all up to go drive in sleet & snow again....😕
