THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I absolutely despise long drawn out DIY videos. I don't need to know how the weather is where you are, or for you to repeat yourself 6x about the same thing. I wish everyone did videos like this. No talking, just 1 sec per step... I can figure the rest out. Thank you sir!!
Only aluminum rims can’t do that on chromed rims cus if u sand too much it will rub through and chrome will be gone ..well u can it depends how deep the scratches are.
The silver diamond cut bits are just clear lacquered metal so if you can keep the repair to that area won’t need paint, just a bit of protection/bit of a polish every now and then.
Would you not need to re-laquer to protect the now bare alloy? Ceramic coating isn’t going to be enough is it? If you have status of how they are holding up after 6-12 months in the area you repairs that would be very useful to see!
Can I ask what sanding paper u used at the very beginning? Also that hand held machine thing you used after ? Or is it a bufffer ? Could you possibley explain and tell me what it is I will need to get the scuffs out of my alloy wheels as they don’t look great?what I need to buy I mean? Preferably something that I can afford as I don’t have lots of £££££s and want to get what I need bit buy bit . Thanks.

What about the lines that’s in the top layer of the rim I always wonder about that and I really wanna repaint my rims exactly Factory silver Aluminum alloy
No serves me right for swerving a big pothole and prioritising my cheap plastic splitter over a new diamond cut wheel (with the correct tyres to prevent arch scrub).
@@CarCleaningGuru - if you are stretching tires to clear your fender arches, then the rims have the wrong offset. Anyway, you know what I mean... if the rim sticks out farther than the sidewall of the tire, there is nothing to protect it from curb rash.
That’ll corrode within a month, especially when some salt gets on it. Also, where the rest of the face is machined, this will have a more polished mirror finish.
It won’t because I ceramic coated it and will keep it clean along with the rest of the car. Yes it has a polished finish but doesn’t blend too badly with the factory cut and looks way better than a big scuff.
It's always that one person who doesn't know crap about refinishing or has never even done the work before, telling a pro how to do their job! Before you down play the process or finishing results just pay attention, you may just learn something. I do this type of work as well and it's not as easy as it seems but done right it looks and performs better than factory which makes both me and my customers very happy
@@chrissmith6111 having been the general manager of the UKs largest diamond cut wheel refinisher, I think I’m relatively well qualified. This repair would be laughed out of testing for any kind of warranty. Diamond cut and Polished wheels NEED a clear coat, whether that’s paint or powder coat (powder coat lasting significantly longer). No tech should be offering this, it’s a completely sub-par repair. P.s. I won’t even go into the fact he’s completely changed the face profile by not milling it.
This repair wouldn’t be tested for any kind of warranty because it’s a diy jobbie in the back garden lol. I’m not a wheel tech, don’t profess to be and would never perform this kind of quick fix on anyones wheels other than my own. Still, 4 weeks on it’s yet to “corrode” and nobody’s clocked it because it’s hardly noticeable, unlike the horrible scuff.
@@CarCleaningGuru Fair enough, 100% different doing repairs to your own car to get by. My issue here is that people will try to replicate this and there are a number of problems (safety being a big one) with this being shared as a repair method. Glad it’s not corroded, but we have had a dry summer to be fair, I’ll check back in with you mid winter 👍🏼. Honestly, if you sprayed some clear coat over it, you’re not far off the most basic standard of repair, but leaving it bare would be a big no no for anyone with commercial liability.
I thought I’d try it myself first before committing to recutting the whole face of a brand new wheel and think it’s a perfectly acceptable diy spot repair. The ceramic coating and weekly washing should prevent it from dulling but if it does, a quick hand polish will bring it back to life.
Congratulations and you damaged the deionised surface of the aluminium. Therefore, that part is completely exposed to oxidisation. And how about the diamond cut that the wheel used to have?
It was already damaged, I made it look less so. I protected the wheel with a ceramic coating afterwards to prevent oxidation and no you won’t have the cut finish in that spot but neither will you have a big ugly scuff.

Awesome, but it would help the rest of the world if you would tell us what materials you used.
100 grit, 800 grit, 1600 grit wet sand, polish wheel with polish compound.
Fookin bloody roight m8
What grit(s) sand paper did you use bro?
Excellent, full video maybe?
First time I’ve ever attempted it so maybe next time!
@@CarCleaningGuru Ahh ok nice one! Turned out great, well done!
Video is so simple and straight to the point love it! ❤
Can you share where you got such evenly depth curb rash lol? Curb rash i have had and seen is always deeper in spots and not even ;)
Wow! I’ll be looking for a full video soon! Thanks!
What products did you use?
Its a secret apparently
Amazing work 💯
Did you polish all the machine lines out of the whole rim ?
Wow! Looks like new!
Amazing! What was used for this process!?
What product did you use for the buffing?
Turtle Wax One & Done Compound.
What polisher is that ?
What grit of sandpaper was used?
You done a nice Job on the wheel.
I Had to do this by hand on all fours wheels due to scuff marks. Not diamond cut though. 👍🏻
Love all your videos man
Nice vid guru
Good job..I scratched my wheels on my 2017 corolla..and I was worried chrome can't b fixed at all..
Brilliant video diy is always good
Only aluminum rims can’t do that on chromed rims cus if u sand too much it will rub through and chrome will be gone ..well u can it depends how deep the scratches are.
What polisher is that your using ??
What grit of sand paper was used?
Nice brother. Nice!
Great job.
Name a list of all the items that you use
I got it.. great vid!!!!
What machine polisher is this? 😊
nice job man 👌👌
Hello, good video, can you tell me what material you use because my car rims are scratched
What tools did you use
What mini polisher are you using there buddy?
Can you buy that in a kit ???
I need this kit
Given the wheel is painted I am genuinely perplexed as to how you did this without repainting

Think I would have used a Dremmel?
You did this the hardest possible way lmao
I can donate my wheels if you need to do another video.there beyond saving though I think not even the refurb place will touch them
😂
Che carte abrasive hai usato poi indicare tutti i passaggi?
Wer schon einmal Alu Poliert hat, vorallem nach solchen Kratzern, weiß das ist sauviel schmutzige Arbeit > besser Reifen Abmontieren, oder abdrücken ggf. Lassen😮

What kind of polish gun is that? And pad? Plz lmk
Smoothing it out and polishing is the easy part. But how can you get the machined lines put back on the rim?
You can’t really. A scotch pad might give the effect somewhat.
Link for this kit/product? 💯
Should be rough details in the description.
@@CarCleaningGuru Ok thank you
Name of rubbing machine??
i wish you had a mobile business near me.
Show me up close picture you definitely removed the grain it had with the clear coat
The cut finish is now flat and the shine will stand out at certain angles yes but it still looks way better than a big scuff.
What grit Sandpaper?
What supplies did you use? Thanks
Should be some details in the description.
Sanded the whole of the face of the wheel not just the curb
Did you not need any paint?
Ojo todo es cuestión de tener paciencia 👍
Nice, but what if they are clear coated?
Protect them with something afterwards. I used a ceramic coating here but anything you can use on paintwork you can keep the metal topped up with.
What about the lines that’s in the top layer of the rim I always wonder about that and I really wanna repaint my rims exactly Factory silver Aluminum alloy
Machined face, do not do this if you want to keep that. Only option is to have them refurbished
Serves you right for not paying enough to buy the correct width tires.
No serves me right for swerving a big pothole and prioritising my cheap plastic splitter over a new diamond cut wheel (with the correct tyres to prevent arch scrub).
@@CarCleaningGuru - if you are stretching tires to clear your fender arches, then the rims have the wrong offset.
Anyway, you know what I mean... if the rim sticks out farther than the sidewall of the tire, there is nothing to protect it from curb rash.
@@johncoops6897 I know and it’s a price I’m willing to pay to have the wheels and offset I want 🤷♂️.
Where are you located 😊
Wow, because I've never seen them rims before...
What if my wheel has texture😢
Helo ano po product pls ang ano ko ng liha pls??
what is the last thing you apply on the wheel? kinda coat?
Ceramic coating, metal sealant or even wax will do the job so long as you reapply it every few months.
Vídeo muito bom
Hondas have. Diamond cut rims you just can’t just sand them without ruining the diamond cut milled
Lines
Was already ruined by the scuff.
Did you have to take the clearcoat off?
Yes hence needing to keep the area topped up with some form of protection thereafter but the scuff had chewed through it already.
what grit sand paper did you use?
Very coarse to start (the paper was so old it didn’t have a grade lol) and finished with 1500 before polishing which seemed to work well.
@@CarCleaningGuru LOL okay thank you
Satisfying
Grit sand paper?
Looks like it was a brushed finish at first now it’s grossly.
Yes this is the problem with diamond cut wheels but still looks a lot better than a scuff.
That’ll corrode within a month, especially when some salt gets on it. Also, where the rest of the face is machined, this will have a more polished mirror finish.

What size sand paper???
Cant' remember, just what I had lying around at the time but a general multipack of various grades should generally suffice.
How has it been? Any corrosion?
Dulled a tiny bit over winter with the road salt but came up fine again with a quick hand polish.
Except my rims are black. But looks good
В любом случае будет отличаться от заводской проточки , но уж лучше так .
No clear coat?
Ceramic coating and just keep it clean.
What is the polisher you are using?
Autobrite Direct MP-9 although I think they’ve just released a new version.
@@CarCleaningGuru thank you. Need to do some work on my alloys and don’t fancy it all by hand
thanks what products did you use?
Should all be linked in the description!
@@CarCleaningGuruit says diy wheel scuff. That is nothing

Then you wash it and the difference between the polish and Clearcoat becomes obvious
But far less obvious than a big dirty scuff!
Is it worth polishing all 4 rims? 🤔
Only if they’re all scuffed up.
What grit sandpaper?
Can’t remember, whatever I had to hand!
Don't you need a clear coat over that?
Doing this for mustang wheels tmr
🤞
That's a diamond cut finish, it needs to be milled again and without a proper clearcoat it won't last a winter
I thought I’d try it myself first before committing to recutting the whole face of a brand new wheel and think it’s a perfectly acceptable diy spot repair. The ceramic coating and weekly washing should prevent it from dulling but if it does, a quick hand polish will bring it back to life.
3.5 yrs ltr.
But the brushed finish is off now because it's polished?
Yes but better than a scuff if you don’t want/can’t a afford a full re-cut.
Bro if you need to remove the tire and use a machine.. that's not very diy. Anyhow I'm trying this with my wheel attached using hand power.. Let's see
Music sounds like gran turismo
why’d you blue you’re son in the first part but not while he was in the SUV? or was that a mistake ?
Congratulations and you damaged the deionised surface of the aluminium. Therefore, that part is completely exposed to oxidisation. And how about the diamond cut that the wheel used to have?
It was already damaged, I made it look less so. I protected the wheel with a ceramic coating afterwards to prevent oxidation and no you won’t have the cut finish in that spot but neither will you have a big ugly scuff.
What product did you use for the bando filler?
Sand by hand, really? I see a significant blend line from the polished area, to the machine cut. U need a lil p18/p20 to dust over that...then clear.
I think this wont last very long because the clear coat is missing
Ahora quedo una parte pulida y la otra sin pulir
On deeper spots doesnt work..😂
Nice
