Nice. I used to do mobile wheel repair. Did 12-15 wheels a day for dealerships all over Phoenix. You really only need to go 120-320-500 on the discs. If you deflate the tire you can get in there better. Also, when you deflate it, you can use playing cards to mask the tire. Then roll a card up and tape it. Then slide the rolled up card over the valve stem to mask it. I could refinish and paint 4 wheels in 45 minutes.

lol -- true. And all the men who drive long haul trucks. As a woman who happens to be a mechanic, the curb bite from a woman driving the family car pales in comparison to the body damage I repair on an almost daily basis thanks to their husbands who are trying (and frequently failing) to drive a long haul truck and trailer. Bottom line: everybody does it. Not all of us gals suck at driving 😉

Incredible!!! I was considering paying to get this done on my Lexus (previous owner curbed it), but I am absolutely going to go DIY after seeing this. Thanks for posting.
THANK YOU! This video inspires me to fix my stock wheel prior to painting. I curbed it last winter. Now that winter shoes are about to go on this seems easy enough for me to tackle. Appreciate you!
Well, you learn something new every day 🎉. Very many thanks for demonstrating how to achieve that task 👏. I've been wondering, for a while, how to improve the trim looking better 😀! Great job ❤
Great video mate, thanks for spreading the knowledge. Looks quite a bit easier than I thought it would be . And you didn’t have to break the tire down.
Professionals do the exact same thing he is doing but with compressed air tool then paint them if u have confidence in yourself it’s pretty easy to do it
Brilliant, I've done my wheels using an old cordless and a sanding disc kit I bought on line for £12. I used acrylic wheel paint in rattle cans and got decent results, all in only cost me a day in the garage and about £50. Thanks for the tips 🙂
Thanks you so much .. I wen to a shop to get my rims fix they want to charge me $600 … I use your Method only cost me 50$ I’m so happy now cause of your video I did it myself 👍🏾👍🏾🤞🏾👍🏾
Cheers and thanks for the video, like many other people I never would have guessed that kerb rash could be so simply repaired! Great stuff mate and thanks again! Regards Robert Z
While I have only watched 2 or 3 videos on wheel repair so far, this was far and away the best one yet. The narrative was clearly understandable, and you went step by step showing and explaining the whole process quite well. Unfortunately, I am not sure, I will have to look, but I think the damage done to the wheels on my car by the previous owner may not be repairable, as the " lip " on the wheels is a bit more pronounced.
Just did mine, had some roloc's, 120, 220 and 320. I used my die grinder, and a drill like yours along with some cotton polishing tips and tripoli compound. The only problems is clear coated Aluminum and painted wheel combo's. It's doable, just a lot more work polishing the sanded aluminum up to the original clear coated sections. Once I had the aluminum polished a little above satin I used some rattle can 2K clear to recoat the aluminum.
BALANCE YOUR WHEEL before installing again on vehicle. Knocking material off unevenly as was done will knock your wheel balance off. Will wear out your tire unevenly and will not be as steady on the road, if alignment is off any bit at all.
I liked the vid, and you’ve shown me an easy way to cheer up some Old alloys cheap. But what’s absolutely priceless is reading your awesome reply’s to some of these comments 😂😂😂 Excellent
Its amazing that you can make a video for no gain other than to maybe help at least 1 guy who's got very limited tools, which is completely free to watch.... and it infuriates certain people to the point that they have to take the time to abuse the guy who's made the video... incredible 🤣👍🏼
Thank you for that. Had some damage to my wheels from curb and potholes couldn't afford to get them cleaned up professionally but thanks to you I can now get this done on the cheap. Cheers.
Very nice! I have a very small 2" spot on the wheel of the car and some on the golf cart. I will give this a go looks like a fun little project. THANKS
Great video. However, I would have preferred you do both sanding and painting to reflect a who package. I know doing this would involves longer recording time yet you could do videos in bits and merge them. With that said, you're a great DIYer though. Thank you
Thanks! Gonna give it a try. Only thing I was wondering was if there would be enough material removal (including the initial damage) to throw off the wheel balance?
Ace video cheers, My old Boxster has rims just like those and i was going to have trouble taking them all off to be sent away but i think i will do it myself and see what happens.Cheers
Fantastic video, probably the best video on UA-cam! I have a couple rims that look exactly like those, they look bad, I'm going to take my time and do them the exact same way, using this video for reference...again great video!!!💯👍👍👍
Very useful video and simple depending on the style of the wheels and if you had a Drexel and similar attachments could be even easier so thank you for this video.
Basically what the shops do for to much ...great vid my boi ...never knew this and who does'nt own a power drill ...although i hope i dont come across havin to do ...but its a good way to help others or even make lil cash if any wanted to tip a bit
I can give you a better tip for masking the tyre off, rather than taping off. Get a i bin bag, measure from the centre of the wheel with one end of the bag to the rim of the wheel. Give yourself a bit extra.the bit extra pull to a point and cut off. You should now have a bin bag with a hole the same size diameter as the wheel. Stretch over, and you have a completely masked wheel in one go.

BALANCE YOUR WHEEL before installing again on vehicle. Knocking material off unevenly as was done will knock your wheel balance off. Will wear out your tire unevenly and will not be as steady on the road, if alignment is off any bit at all.

You could also do this right before you have your tires replaced
