@mvmracing If I were to do this for someone I would probably do it for a little of nothing honestly lol Somehow I enjoy doing it 😎 If they're on the car or they wanted them polished also then we would have to discuss a price. And that depends on how bad they are to start
I appreciate when dudes aren't making click bait videos in a million dollar auto shop. No magic filming, you showed the whole process. I'm going to do exactly this tomorrow. You're the man... Thanks.
Great video! Great vibes. Not pretentious or plugging for some expensive or specific product. Very user friendly. Thanks so much for sharing this and making it easy to follow for all levels of car owners/cleaners. Gonna do my concave raw aluminum 19s later.
Thanks for the video and the tips! I grabbed a set of alumnium wheels from the scrap yard and was thinking about how to clean them up. You hit it right on here, thanks again
Hey, thanks for the suggestion about aluminum bright. are you sure about the steel wool though? I'm sure it works wonders getting gunk off but I don't know how I feel about the aluminum itself getting marred up by it, it's soft stuff. I might stick with a hard plastic bristle brush and some bug and tar remover or something for those spots unless you really haven't had any issues with the steel wool
Nice! I have a Mazda CX9 with aluminum and clear coat that has peeled off and the aluminum is all black and pitted so I'm going to be using a disc sander/polisher and progressively finer grit discs to clean it up and re-clear. Wish me luck!
Thanks man, I just got an S10 and one of the Rims looks like the bottom aof a pan from the stove, Have to try some of that Aluma brite but I'm sure I will need a lot of Elbo grease thanks for the tip.
I have Been to detail SHOPS and body SHOPS here in a Philippines and THEYMHAVE nomidea howmto properly clean or refurbishment aliuminian WHEEL,totally in The dark!!!!!!!
Dude this is a great video. I was trying to find how to clean my very stained aluminum OE wheels on my 95 S10. There u were Roi with the answer!! I also looked at your video about your GMC work truck. Man you have great imagination & unique ideas/style. My S10 is my work truck and daily driver. I am going to begin fixing the interior up a bit & you have inspired me.!! One more thing. There is a gamer on yt with ur same name & his stuff dominates when someone tries to find you. You might think of a new name so your channel can grow & people can find you, I subscribed to your channel for your self help videos. We think alike my brother. Sincerely Larry C
Thanks. Good ideas. I have some caked corrosion on my Aluminum Jeep Wrangler TJ Rims. I'll have to try a plastic scraper and probably some degreaser and cleaner to get it. Finish with Aluminum Brite. Thanks for the ideas.
I picked up a 2015 Honda Civic with only 28,000 miles, great little car, but came with winter tires.. A friend just got rid of a 2003 Lincoln Town Car, and gave me the 16" wheels for summer tires, same bolt pattern, and 16 is fine. need cleaning badly, so thank you very much
Thank you for the video. Do you think a wax or something similar added to the aluminum for protection would work? I used aluminum bright and noticed it stained right away. Using on a semi truck fuel tank and rims.
I figured steel wool would work. I’m working on some gmc wheels right now. I’m decladding some 6 spoke wheels to put on my Tahoe. I want that sport suv look to it. I used to be painter. And we would use steel wool to sand molding. We could get to all nooks n crannies
@SteveSanford-j9h the 0000 is very fine and never left scratches for me after a good polish. But I like my wheels with the raw look. And if your wheels are scratchless then they are probably not bad enough to need steel wool in the 1st place
Very helpful video. Im having a similar situation. Kind of surprised you don't have affiliate links for products through Amazon or similar site of products that you would recommend to use. That would be helpful for us that don't want to go run around town looking for a halfway decent product that actually works, and would help you out with a little cash kick back from those online sites. Just a thought 🤷 Us lazy people just want to click a link and wait for a product to show up at the door. Especially when we have several projects going on at one time.
If you find this video helpful, drop a thumbs up and leave a comment 😎
Hey Roy, just wondering, how much do you charge to do a rim? Or do you charge per set? Like how you come up with charging someone?
@mvmracing If I were to do this for someone I would probably do it for a little of nothing honestly lol
Somehow I enjoy doing it 😎 If they're on the car or they wanted them polished also then we would have to discuss a price. And that depends on how bad they are to start
Oh ok, but can you give me a close guestimate? I'm just thinking of doing this as a side hustle. Any help I would greatly appreciate it.
@mvmracing I would probably pay 20 to 25 bucks a wheel
To polish and clean those wheels back to a chrome shine you could buy new wheels its a job
I appreciate when dudes aren't making click bait videos in a million dollar auto shop. No magic filming, you showed the whole process. I'm going to do exactly this tomorrow. You're the man... Thanks.
Yes sir 😎
My guy did the whole job pretty much with one hand, I can respect it.
Great video! Great vibes. Not pretentious or plugging for some expensive or specific product. Very user friendly. Thanks so much for sharing this and making it easy to follow for all levels of car owners/cleaners. Gonna do my concave raw aluminum 19s later.

That's a beautiful GMC truck. I always loved those 90's trucks.

Thanks brother. I bought some aluminum wheels and definitely need some attention. This video will be big help.

@aquaticontent I've had no issues but there's more than one method to reaching your goal. This is just what worked for me

Love those wheels too. Just picked up a set for my 91 gmc short wide. Nice video bro.
Man, you may have just saved my bike rims. I've been struggling trying to clean these things. Thanks man!

Aint nothing to it 😎👍🏾

Yes sir, good luck 👍🏾
Thank you great tips I need to clean a set I let get a little rough
Thanks for sharing your technique!
Very impressive! Thanks for sharing.
Looks easier and cheaper than some of the other videos I’ve watched. This one is something I’ll definitely try. Thanks for sharing!
😎👍🏾
Thanks brother, I appreciate the video,I got my Sunday all figured out.
Yes suh 😎👍🏾
Great video Roy, gonna give it a try.
Great video, thanks for creating it!

😎👍🏾
Very nice job Roy, I agree with you, I like the wheels to look 'aluminum' too, not big on the polished finish.
Yea that raw look is definitely where it's at for me 😎👍🏾
nice truck 😎👍🏽 n wheels . will try to clean mines now thank you !
@@adanmorales4977 🫡 yes sir
I need to borrow your man hands🤓
Thanks for showing me without using power tools
Wheels look great🎉
@@Ann-x6r 🤣🤣🤣
Great video thxs for your time i will try this out
That fine Steel Wool is what I was missing, rough spunge wasnt cutting it and think the Wire Steel Spunge might scratch it. Thanks bro
Glad I could help 👍🏾😎
Thank you for the video. Do you think a wax or something similar added to the aluminum for protection would work? I used aluminum bright and noticed it stained right away. Using on a semi truck fuel tank and rims.
If I clean them and want a good shine, I finish them off with mothers aluminum polish.... It's a lot of work, but it provides a good shine
Elbow grease with the right products is the number. I be wearing gloves when I do mine. Just subscribed.
Yes sir thanks for the sub, hopefully I can be helpful in someway in the future
Right on!!! That's what I've been missing is the steel wool!!! Hell yeah!
That steel wool will work a miracle in most cases. lol
I figured steel wool would work. I’m working on some gmc wheels right now. I’m decladding some 6 spoke wheels to put on my Tahoe. I want that sport suv look to it.
I used to be painter. And we would use steel wool to sand molding. We could get to all nooks n crannies
I use SOS pads, works fantastic! Chrome gleams using those!
Fantastic job well Done!! Smooch...
Great reccommendation!
Most people don’t realize you can use that steel wool on glass and it gets it super clean
@@HNKYKONG yep
Hi .would be nice to post a products list used in this restoration. I really liked the flat finish
A good degreaser, Aluminum Brite, & 4 0000 steel wool pad
Cool. Thanks dude.
thanks. Great information.Need to do the exact thing.
They came out real good. Enjoyed the video so i subscribed. Nice truck
Preciate it and welcome to the family 😎👍🏾
Hey man. Great video. Love the classic truck. What size wheels and tires you go on that?
15x10 wrapped in 275/60/15
Using steel wool will leave little scratches how you get rid of those
@SteveSanford-j9h the 0000 is very fine and never left scratches for me after a good polish. But I like my wheels with the raw look. And if your wheels are scratchless then they are probably not bad enough to need steel wool in the 1st place
Great video on polishing wheels. I didn’t think steel wool would work
Good looking wheels after the work.
Good vid dude I’m about to restore some old valve covers
Good luck 😎👍🏾
Nice truck, and good video. Careful with the alumibrite on your hands, stuffs no joke.
10-4
Bro does that Aluma brite sting your hands ???
Sometimes, I definitely would recommend wearing gloves lol
Just what I needed! Thank you!
Awesome job. Rims look great. Gonna do the same on my wheels. Thanks for posting this video
Yes sir 😎
I have a 96 Silverado with aluminum wheels. I will certainly try degreaser, that aluminum polish and steel wool. Thanks
Yes sir! 😎
Nice truck fam
Where did you buy the aluminum bright from?
Bumper to Bumper auto parts store
What aluminum brighter did you use and from where? Thanks!
@@chayanneduartebenitez8219 i got it from bumper to bumper
I have one question did you use the Aluma bright straight or did diluted?
@@geraldfiorello6231 straight
what degreaser do you use and what aluminum brightener do u use
I think any brand is fine. I pick the ones I used up at bumper to bumper but I'm sure they all use similar brands
what is the grade on the steelwool just purchased some rima that need cleaning
0000

What are the two chemicals? I know one is purple power but I don’t know what the other one is.
Aluminum Brite and a good degreaser
Was it a s.o.s pad or just steel wool?
