Is this a tutorial or are you just showing what you can do? It would be helpful to know the steps you took, materials used, what type of finish you applied. Are those tire shields available for purchase or did you make them?
Great video what sanding tools were you using considering upgrading air compressor but could be cheaper to buy poerr tools just want something to sand quickly.
Unless it’s a super expensive car I don’t think a lath is required. Besides these refurbished wheels would start loosing lacquer and corrode after 2-3 years anyway. How do I know this - I am currently experiencing it on my vehicle . I have refurbished them by one of the leading wheel refurbishes (no names being taken here).
Hi, would you not need to paint the inner gloss black in a refurbish? If you do need to how would you go about it? Can you laquer the gloss black without sanding it down? Thanks
Not if there isn't any damage, just scuff like he did, when you reclear the wheel it will again be glossy. If so, tape off the face, repair pocket/s, prime, paint, remove tape from face and clear whole wheel. Or do pockets first, then do the faux diamond cut then clear whole wheel. Yes and no, it does need scuffed with either a red or gray scotch brite pad 1st, then re cleared. If you just spray clear. lacquer over gloss it will look like crap, won't stick, fish eye and never last.
I wouldn’t let him prep n paint my nails !! Shocking start to finish !!! No axel stand under front sill incase jack fails !!! Wheel nuts just thrown all over the place !!! Using what sounds like a grinder disc not a 180 flap disc ! When it’s so much quicker to use a 120 to a 320 600 on a rotary polisher !! And vans a shit tip !!! No ventilation nothing !! #amateur
1:02 you might have done the job on wheel but definitely not on the car. How come lay the wheel on car body🤷🏻♂️ I will not think this would be professional.
You know what you’re doing. But where do you think that fine aluminum dust from all that grinding is going? I can see the cloud in the video and I didn’t see any eye protection or mask on your head. I’ve been doing paint rims you name for 50 years. I like it. But it. I’ve also known guys that were in a hurry,I got downdraft I’m outside I’m an idiot and they all have one thing in common. They don’t have to care anymore. Get you some quality goggles that fit over a particulate respirator when you’re grinding that aluminum,pal. Or not,but you don’t want to know what that fine aluminim dust does to your lungs and eyes after awhile.
All the comments complaining about what stages? what materials? Lmao this is not a tutorial, this is the guys lively hood and he is showcasing his workmanship, if you want a tutorial then look up a bloody tutorial and stop your whinging
Who cares about gloves?
No description, no info about used materials, no nothing. What a genius...

Great job, I’m considering doing mine but don’t have the tools to remove my wheels.
Still waiting for the “professional “ diamond cut refurb , not a grinder and da cut
Nothing professional in this video :)) U can even see dust particles in the clear coat at the end of the video.
Do you know the meaning of inverted commas?
@@TheAlpins yes , do you ??
Is it better to get a polisher buffer grinder or duel action also can I do the same grades of paper but in wet and dry

great job, looks perfect. I have a one question, I did is the same way, but when spayed the lacquer, the wheel became darcker, can you give me advice?
What happens whit original finish ?
I'm a plumber, but I didn't see any diamond cut machine,, or are sanders and polishers considered diamond cut finish??

@@Rajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj that was a dodgy repair then, my refurbished bmw rims from a guy in the alleyway has lasted for 5 years and still counting
You can buy a brand new car and in 3 years they start to bubble. Only takes a few small chips or stones for salt off the road to start to corrode them
Inverted commas you mong.
How long did each wheel take?
Hi, would you not need to paint the inner gloss black in a refurbish?
If you do need to how would you go about it?
Can you laquer the gloss black without sanding it down?
Thanks

How much for 4 audi rotors done
Wheel looked great in the end but what paper did you use for sanding.
helloooo. I go 180, 320, 400. Then red scotch brite on a block.

And don’t forget the debris from your grinding wheels and sandpaper
