Hello Evan just wanted to drop you a line of thanks. I've watched a bunch of you videos in preparation of polishing my well under maintained Boyd Coddington billet wheels. I must say you literally lay out the blue prints for a successful polish to an average Joe like me. I followed your recommendations with buffs, compounds and polish to a tee. With that, anyone with a cheap Warrior buff like I have can achieve fantastic results. Thank you so much and go shine on!
I am glad to help. Thank you for stopping by and supporting the channel. I truly appreciate it. Sorry the audio cuts out. I had to remove some copyrighted music.
Incredible work, I think the scratched rims at the start looked better than mine did when new! Spare a thought for those of us in the UK, where the salted roads in Winter absolutely destroy polished rims within a few years, unless you have a very strict cleaning and protection routine.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing Thank you for making the video! I've never seen aluminum polish to such a mirror-finish shine - that's a fine art! Take care!
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing That's great ! I've had the Makita professional buffer in the garage for several years but only used it a few times for polishing our vehicles - now I have more of a clue on how to apply it toward polishing my rims. Thanks!
Good job, I worked 20+ years restoring antique furniture, wood and metal, polishing metal and more, a set like this is totally worth the investment if you want to make some money polishing wheels, if you own a car or truck with nice wheels, it's totally justified investing in a polishing kit , practice makes perfect, practice in scrap metal, and be patient... You be so proud with the final results... follow step by step instructions..
Awesome videos and you take the time to reply to everyone. That’s very cool. Thanks for all the advice; I’m starting a horse trailer for a friend and just ordered some stuff you recommended for safety.God bless you and your family brother
You could probably build a mini wheel apparatus with a foot control to spin tires for you. Just butt it up against the tire and control the speed with your foot.
Best video yet, nice getting a complete explanation of the different color buffs and polishes. I'm surprised he hasn't built some kind of portable tire turner with a foot controller like a trolling motor that's variable speed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I've been trying to dream something up that would work for that. But haven't come up with anything that makes money or sense yet. But it is still in the back of my mind. Thank you for the great comment and idea. Appreciate the support.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing They already exist. Look at rollers for bump starting racing motorcycles. Or, if you don't mind taking the wheels off, circle track racers have a tire stand that spins for dressing the tire treads. Those aren't powered, but they'll allow you to polish without having to be hunched over close to the ground.
Or just grab an old variable speed buffer, make a base out of a 2x4, and use an old buff as a drive wheel. Set it touching the tread, use a screen door spring or a rubber strap for some preload and use that for an external drive motor.
This is one of the absolute best restoration/polishing videos ever!! But the audio killed it for me man! I wish you could of done like a voice over or something cause the steps as well as tips and tricks that you explain during the video would of been soo much more helpful ... not sure why some of it had to be cut out.. please in the future just let us know fully each step no so on thanks man keep up awesome work
Evan Steger hey man it’s perfectly ok I understand on your part UA-cam makes no sense sometimes but you did a awesome job and I’ll definitely be watching more videos
Hi Evan, new polisher & drag racer ,67yrs. new. My 14'' weld pro star rear wheels have some large grouping of deep pits. Wondering what grit to use & which tool you would chose. Thank you , like your videos, will need some products, have lots of toys !
Check out my how to sand aluminum video. You will see all the tools we use. As far as grits I say only go as deep as you need to as you will have to work your way all the way back up again to 600 to make it polishable. If you need more info text me at 9209790386 with pictures of the pits and I will do my best to help you sort out which grit would be best.
Any tips on how to detail the smaller spokes or the more detailed wheels with all the designs. Any recommendations on dremels and the tips? Thanks. That truck looks sick
Evan, I need your help. i have buffed and polished my stainless steel sink using red and pink airway buffer with black and yellow roque. I also see a product Zephyr Pro-40 that can be buffed using cloth until it turns black and wipe off. question is how is the airway buff wheel pink different from PRO-40 is there a difference between they two, or if i know how to use red and pink to cut and color, then Zephyr Pro-40 is not needed. or Zephyr Pro-40 is used as protectant.. Please advise.
Stainless is a non-porous metal it doesn’t need a protectant. The pro 40 is made for aluminum and likely will not turn black on stainless. If you’re going to do anything on stainless, you would use a chrome polish after buffing. I personally don’t use the Zephyr stuff as I have my own brand, but you can use as you wish.
I have training courses online and in person. You can email ellen@goshineon.com for more info or you can watch step by step videos here. Thank you for watching. Best of luck!

my chrome rims are really bad the chrome is pealing off sooo what do i doo sand reall good till all chrome is gone and than paint again or what you recommend
Hi Evan, It's nice to watch your Vlogs in You Tube. I am going to polish my rims during this lockdown period. My rims are not really bad. I just want to bring back the chrome look. Can you please advice me what are the number and brand of sandpaper I should use. Thanks
Hi Evan. First let me start that you are amazing doing what you do. My question is what do you use to take the clear and thick coats of paint off of aluminum rims. I'm going crazy throwing everything at it. Lol. I hope that you can help me with this. Thank you very much sir. You're the man.
I don't do painted wheels. They are too time consuming and hard to still make money doing them. So as a business I shy away from them most of the time. Sorry I can't be more help.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thank you very much for the reply. Do you mind if I bug your ear every once and awhile. You really know your stuff and you film amazing videos. Thank you.
I love this type of work but it’s hard on your back. Good job, one question why didn’t you spray a light mist of water to help soften up your compound ?
Why did u use brown with the yellow and orange buff. I tried it on my forged wheels leaves a lot of scratches. I saw in another u went with orange and brown then yellow and green?
just got myself a set of forces im new to the polishing im curious if i buy a dewalt dwp849x and a orange yellow and white buff what size should i get the 9"? and does it need a extension on the shaft?....also how come you don't drop down to a blue rouge when using a white buff? would it not give you a better polish?
Jared Trivette I recommend the 9”. If you watch some of my other videos I break the compounds down more. But blue doesn’t necessarily give a better finish.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thanks so much for the reply im about to make my first purchase of the dewalt 3500rpm over the makita im just now getting into this forged wheel polishing so would you recommend just the brown and green rouge bar with the orange cut and yellow color buff or should i step up and also buy a white buff and a blue bar just to have that extra step after throwing on a hand polish like you recommend
Jared Trivette I never use blue. I don’t like the color it leaves. I prefer the dark rich shine of the green compound. You can use a white buff with the green and still get a great finish. Use my links to purchase a buffer. They are the cheapest and best I’ve found.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thanks again for the reply! ill be sure to order what i need i threw myself into a world that i was unsure of figured i would ask the professional for his opinion so i wasn't buying unnecessary stuff
Evan do recommend the Makita over a Dewalt? What model Makita should I get? I purchased a grinder at Harbor Freight but realized it was not variable speed.
I see your buddy is spinning the wheel for you as you sand/polish. How beneficial would it be to have tool that you could lower the tire down on the would spin the tires for you? Would not have to be a big piece of equipment. Probably smaller than your buffer itself.
The buffs are only rated for 3500 rpm or less. In my 19 years in business I have only seen a few blow apart. When they do its bad but you just gotta be careful.
Hi, awesome tutorial!! How would you go about stripping a factory coat and polish a mesh wheel with tight spaces between the lace? Like the wheels they came on the firebirds?
Evan, where is a good place I can get hook and loop in higher grit like you’re using for the rotary and da in the video? All I can ever seem to find is 220 nothing higher that. Any and all advice appreciated. Love your work and keep the videos coming!
I got some scratches on my black wheel. So what I was wondering is would it be the same process? I did not know if the sand paper would scrap all of the paint off
Question what is the difference on the final finish compound between the light blue and green? I've been using the blue compund on the final and use the green on the secondary
Hello Evan just wanted to drop you a line of thanks. I've watched a bunch of you videos in preparation of polishing my well under maintained Boyd Coddington billet wheels. I must say you literally lay out the blue prints for a successful polish to an average Joe like me. I followed your recommendations with buffs, compounds and polish to a tee.

Hi it’s a really awesome😊video. I have a question what grit number did you used on DA?
This wheel specifically was 400 and 600 grit. But each wheel is different. Some wheels need deeper and some don't need any sandpaper at all..

Stainless is a non-porous metal it doesn’t need a protectant. The pro 40 is made for aluminum and likely will not turn black on stainless. If you’re going to do anything on stainless, you would use a chrome polish after buffing. I personally don’t use the Zephyr stuff as I have my own brand, but you can use as you wish.

my chrome rims are really bad the chrome is pealing off sooo what do i doo sand reall good till all chrome is gone and than paint again or what you recommend
I can’t mess with chrome. Best thing to do is take to a chrome plater to strip.
what was that OBS in the back of the trailer??
LOL May have been. Thank you for watching and commenting. Truly appreciate the support of the channel.
Thanks for the great video and tips.
Glad to help
Hey it's that guy I saw on big rig videos.
Same guy
Does sanding the wheels change the weight like would I have to rebalance
It can if you remove enough material. Light sanding will not affect the weight that much.
amazing work boss!!!
Thank you.
Made that look so easy 👌🏻
Been practicing for a bit. Thank you for watching.
Hey Evan where can I buy the compound and polish attachments for the angle grinder thank you for taking a minute of your time it's appreciated man
goshineon.com/shop
Evan Steger thanks man
Hi I was wondering if I have a factory part painted and part polished motorcycle rim can I strip the paint off of it and make it and all polished rim
Sometimes yes.
Hi Evan, It's nice to watch your Vlogs in You Tube. I am going to polish my rims during this lockdown period. My rims are not really bad. I just want to bring back the chrome look. Can you please advice me what are the number and brand of sandpaper I should use. Thanks
Goshineon.Com/shop
Beautiful job!
Russell Atwell thank you.
Amazing work as always Evan!!!!
Jeffrey Hausmann thank you bud.
Where can i get those brown bars and that yellow thing for the orbital
goshineon.com/shop sells them. yellow thing is called a sanding backing pad.
Hi Evan. First let me start that you are amazing doing what you do. My question is what do you use to take the clear and thick coats of paint off of aluminum rims. I'm going crazy throwing everything at it. Lol. I hope that you can help me with this. Thank you very much sir. You're the man.
I don't do painted wheels. They are too time consuming and hard to still make money doing them. So as a business I shy away from them most of the time. Sorry I can't be more help.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thank you very much for the reply. Do you mind if I bug your ear every once and awhile. You really know your stuff and you film amazing videos. Thank you.
@@alphaandomegabracelets2673 Anytime.
Paint stripper is the go won’t affect the rims it’s the quickest and best way
You have any restoration on black gloss wheels?
Giovanni Lopez no I’m sorry I don’t.
Good work!
Thank you
What typically does a job like this take for all 4 wheels? Can you do the same to a gloss black rim?
CRFHONDARIDER100 way different process for gloss black.
How come you use the green bar instead of the blue for for the final polish?
I like the deep rich color that the green leaves. The blue is too light of a color for my personal preference.
I have painted aluminum wheels not much depth but rounded off spokes can they be stripped and polished? Thanks...
They can but it’s very time consuming and not fun.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing THANKS!
I love this type of work but it’s hard on your back. Good job, one question why didn’t you spray a light mist of water to help soften up your compound ?
Amir Abdullah I never mix water. I want the sealant in the compound to set. Not release.
i just got a set of used 22x14, 3 of the 4 were spray painted black and the 4th is brand new. any tips on what i should do to make them all match????
Either sand blast and powdercoat or sand and polish.
Evan Steger thank you so much for replying i really appreciate it. so just sanding them down will make em polished?
Why did u use brown with the yellow and orange buff. I tried it on my forged wheels leaves a lot of scratches. I saw in another u went with orange and brown then yellow and green?
Yellow and brown is a softer cut. I do that after the orange and brown sometimes to get a finer finish before I white wheel.Thanks for watching.
Pro tip dont lay your compound on the ground it will pick up dirt and gravel😉
GATORSK8TER I usually have a chair but when flying in my tooling options are limited.
Wow. You're a master
No master but we try hard.
just got myself a set of forces im new to the polishing im curious if i buy a dewalt dwp849x and a orange yellow and white buff what size should i get the 9"? and does it need a extension on the shaft?....also how come you don't drop down to a blue rouge when using a white buff? would it not give you a better polish?
Jared Trivette I recommend the 9”. If you watch some of my other videos I break the compounds down more. But blue doesn’t necessarily give a better finish.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thanks so much for the reply im about to make my first purchase of the dewalt 3500rpm over the makita im just now getting into this forged wheel polishing so would you recommend just the brown and green rouge bar with the orange cut and yellow color buff or should i step up and also buy a white buff and a blue bar just to have that extra step after throwing on a hand polish like you recommend
Jared Trivette I never use blue. I don’t like the color it leaves. I prefer the dark rich shine of the green compound. You can use a white buff with the green and still get a great finish. Use my links to purchase a buffer. They are the cheapest and best I’ve found.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thanks again for the reply! ill be sure to order what i need i threw myself into a world that i was unsure of figured i would ask the professional for his opinion so i wasn't buying unnecessary stuff
Awesome job. Thank you for sharing.
Mark no problem. Glad to help.
Where can I pick up some of those hands that spin the tire for me, Home Depot ??
Kearnsish yea ask for fernando by the pop machine
Makes me wish I had kids.
@@ruderocky1431 nah, ask for Pete Smith
Thanks for watching.
Is there anything to put on after the polish to protect it. Maybe wax or detailer. I'm restoring some centerlines now
cf mechanic I use rebel red to maintain from goshineon.com/shop
Wonderful job man wish you was here in Detroit
I get a lot of inquiries from that way but there are some great polishers in that area.
Evan do recommend the Makita over a Dewalt? What model Makita should I get? I purchased a grinder at Harbor Freight but realized it was not variable speed.
Makita GA7021
What do you use to polish the inside of the spokes? I have AF Octanes so they are pretty tight spaces.
I personally do them by hand with a cotton cone buff.
This dude is good!!!😎👌👍
Thank you. Truly appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
I see your buddy is spinning the wheel for you as you sand/polish. How beneficial would it be to have tool that you could lower the tire down on the would spin the tires for you? Would not have to be a big piece of equipment. Probably smaller than your buffer itself.
That would be helpful. Thanks for watching!
Hey, Who is the Music by sounds awsome?? also great Video
Not sure tbh.
Are the buffs rated for 6000rpm and if not have you ever had a problem with them coming apart? Thanks
The buffs are only rated for 3500 rpm or less. In my 19 years in business I have only seen a few blow apart. When they do its bad but you just gotta be careful.
Hi, awesome tutorial!! How would you go about stripping a factory coat and polish a mesh wheel with tight spaces between the lace? Like the wheels they came on the firebirds?
Ryan Arroyo is use a flex head buffer to sand and polish.
Nice vid! How do you spin the wheel evenly if you are by yourself?
It's not easy. I use my foot to spin it.
What would a typical cost charge be per wheel on a set of American Force Forged wheels like this on a duallie truck ??
I WISH YOU WERE IN NC MY 22'S NEED IT BAD
I wish we could be everywhere. It's just hard to travel that far and make money.
I always use this as a reference video but saw you had to cut the audio would be awesome if you made a new one without the cuts,anyway great tutorial
Yeah working on it.
Great video Evan. How do you maintain new polished aluminum rims?
Tom Sommer we just use hand polish. Rebel red from goshineon.com/shop is what I use.
Hello love your video, question whenever you polish the second time w the yellow did you use that brown brick also?
Yes, correct
Good work good work excellent
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
Evan, where is a good place I can get hook and loop in higher grit like you’re using for the rotary and da in the video? All I can ever seem to find is 220 nothing higher that. Any and all advice appreciated. Love your work and keep the videos coming!
ahwatrudoing goshineon.com/shop we have it all the way up to 800. I only go to 600 but some still buy 800.
Evan Steger thanks a lot I’ll check it out
I got some scratches on my black wheel. So what I was wondering is would it be the same process? I did not know if the sand paper would scrap all of the paint off
If it is paint it will take the paint off quickly but if it is powdercoat it won't come off easy at all.
They say they are gloss black machined so would that process take the paint off?
sounds like its powder coated.
Is there a way I could make sure
Dylan H I looked it up. It’s powder coat.
Question what is the difference on the final finish compound between the light blue and green? I've been using the blue compund on the final and use the green on the secondary
Manny Morales check out my video on rouge colors. The difference is the color it leaves behind.
Those trucks have some of the best "off road" gear made on them but will NEVER see a muddy driveway less ever go off road.
Thanks for watching the video. Many people own supercars and never race them too. Respect the build and having nice things.
Hey Evan how often do you take your buffing wheels until they are really dirty or after every few so passes ?
Only when they get clogged up or start getting hashy.
Would the Makita ga9031y 6600rpm be too much compared to a 6000rpm for polishing?
michael vito paa it’ll work it’s just a bit heavy.
