Your tutorials are so informative, I'm a very proud owner driver of a Western Star 4884fx truck and trailer tipper unit back in NZ...I take a lot of pride and joy with my baby and I love watching your TH-cam channel, thank you 💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I had to buy some very pitted aluminum semi wheels because new ones that would fit were outrageous. These tutorials have helped me make them look like a million bucks ....thanks so much!
You sir, are my hero. I would pay you for the information Ive received just from your videos. Been rubbing my chrome by hand last 22 years and finally wanted (afforded) to make the proper leap into professionalism, and with all your videos I feel alot less weary. Thanks man, just thanks.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Memphis Reece Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I just did a junk yard wheel today to practice. I used a da and started at 80 grit! After I acid washed the wheel. Worked it all the way to 220. Then heavy cut and then polish. Took 4 hours for both sides of one wheel. After seeing this, I need to get the orbital sander. Looks like it took way more off way faster then the DA. The heavy pitting on the bolt holes took forever. Thanks for sharing sir. U make it look easy.
Wow just plain and simple video you explained it in such apples and pears couldn't get any simpler than this definitely you're the best I've seen out here in YT and thanks to you i now know how to sand and polish keep up the awesome work and god bless!
You have to be careful sanding aluminum, aluminum dust is extremely flammable if it mixes with other metals and water it will start a fire and a small confined space can such a a trash can or even a small room can potentially just be a bomb
Man I wish it wasnt so far me to drive I would love to take a crack and your training course I've been polishing for several years now but always always love learning new trick and tip thanks for the videos
Hi, I am learning a lot. I think this rotary machine is effective because it can perform surface treatment quickly. and the DA machine is more suitable for finishing. It is interesting that the processing effect greatly differs depending on how the machine is used.
Thanks a lot for sharing this very helpful video, it shows you are so professional , you make it look easy ,. I just started doing this kind of work it's not easy but your video help very much ,just one thing I would like to point out , please teach us all your viewers to wear dust mask, thanks sir.
Appreciate the videos and tips also love using those extension cord clamps for keeping my cords nice and tight I do the same thing take as much cord as needed and keep the clamp on the remainder
I would have to see the streaks to know which is which. If you want you can text pictures of the streaks to me at 9209790386 and I can help you decipher what went wrong.
Sadly that clear has to be sanded off. Check out my how to strip and repolish a durabrite video. That will give you the best info. We do sell the sanding discs and all the stuff mentioned in that video on goshineon.com We actually have a strip and repolish a durabrite kit on our website also. Thank you for the kind words and for getting our product info out there. Truly appreciate that.
Just found your channel and subbed. Well done. I'm restoring a 75 Honda 360T with pitted chrome and runs on the alum. Been using 0000 on the alum and chrome that has surface rust and I'm just getting the chrome down to a beautiful shine and polish. The lower fork's on the bike and the engine fins, I'm using a drill with compound and a grinding (cloth) wheel. I'd like to use my Makita but never have tried it. Enjoy your post
Sand blasting makes the metal really hot and in my opinion it makes it really tough to polish. It is almost like it burns the metal. I avoid sand blasted parts.
Is sanding necessary for just oxidation? What would happen if you used an orange wheel and brown compound from the start? I'm doing an old pontoon boat and want the toons shiny but not taking it to a show.
@@user-yi8pf8on6w well I found that sanding is totally necessary with bad oxidation and probly the most important step. Just gotta be really careful with grit.
@@michaelglenn2468 got it. I'll do a test section with and without, it's a 1994 so I bet I'll have to sand at least one pass, 320 probably what I'll use. Thanks, y'all have a safe summer!!
Boats are usually pretty thin. Unless you mean a pontoon. If it is a thin side boat then I recommend just doing a da. Lowest grit gets it smooth and the other grits working up make it polishable. If it is a pontoon then you can just do these steps from the video. Thanks for watching and supporting.
What sort of tracks are visible after either method. After buffing process can one see any sanding marks, especially with the rotary method? Thanks. (I'm talking eyeball at 6")
good day .. I have problem to achieve a final mirror finish I am polishing in the tank but it is cloudy, what do you recommend me to do ... I am applying 3 steps with a yellow, violet and white pro 40 wheel
I'm not familiar with the zephyr stuff but send pics to my phone and I will try to get you in the right direction. I would have to see what the cloudy looks like to be able to tell you a solution to fix it.
Do you ever use a interference pad between the paper and backing plate? Just curious if it would float over the defects vs knocking them down. Thank you for your time.
I don't. I'm not a big fan of the interface pad and the finish it leaves. But I do know many people that use them and they do a great job. It is just my personal preference not to use it.
If you have heavy pitting or alot of material to knock off then you want the pad alone if you have say a heavy contour or rounded piece it helps to have some give.
Can you comment on the Alcoa coating on these wheels ? Can I cut and polish the coating they use or do I need to sand the coating off ? These are 5 yr old never polished before and pretty dull. If you're sanding off the coating, what grit are you using ? Ive experimented with 150grit on a DA/orbital and it's not effective. Polishing the coating turns it yellow from the heat.
You have to sand the coating off. You can't just buff it. It will burn and turn black. Check out my video on how to sand and polish a durabrite. That should help answer a lot of your questions.
I could get you one made lol we print our own apparel in our shop. If you want anything checkout out goshineon.com website or email melinda@goshineon.com
Great video! My question is this. I have a snare drum made of aluminum I want to smooth and polish. The problem is it has chrome plating on it that is pitting and peeling off. It looks really bad. Any suggestions on how to remove the chrome plating so I can polish the aluminum underneath???
what kind of sandpaper do you use for Aluminum? some people use silicon carbide sand paper for aluminum. They say avoid using the aluminum-oxide sandpaper on Aluminum itself. What do you use on Aluminum?
Sir, after you sand the aluminum do you put something on it ? I ask because the front forks tubes on my motorcycle looks like your rim. I want to grind it off and then what leave it smooth as is? thank you
I price everything by the piece and depends where you live. Everyone charges different based on their cost of living in their area and the cost of their materials.
I wanna know why the new husky pneumatic rotary sander has Diablo pads that don't stick. I thought getting a pneumatic would be like my crap hyper tough velcro style and it's not. Start sanding and the Diablo pads just fly right off, that's after peeling the backing off to "stick" to the pad lol
I only use velcro. Working in a dust filled dirty shop doesn't do well with sticky back sand paper. Plus diablo paper is less than ideal for aluminum. It can be used on it as that is what it says on the box. But it isn't made for working on aluminum that needs polished.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thanks for the response. I usually go back over it with your liquid heavy cut compound. Am I doing to much or being to cautious? This Utah weather really tends to beat up the aluminum.
Have you ever tried forced rotation/gear driven dual action? Like a Flex 3401 or Rotex? What are your thoughts on it for metal sanding? Thanks for the video, metal polishing is hard dirty work. You guys earn every dollar. I do more paint correction, but I polish the odd wheel, toolbox, etc.. I bought a Renegade metal kit and its worked well, the end result is very satisfying, but its a workout! 👍👌✌
If I had to choose the best tool I think I’d have to go for the rotary , I think the cut is better than the DA method ?? Just my opinion Thanks for the video great work thanks from England
Rotary for sure cuts deeper without a doubt. But sometimes finesse is key. Just my opinion. Thank you for the killer comment. Appreciate the support on my channel.
Great videos, first time viewer asnd new subscriber. Question, I am replacing my painted 22.5 with some new aluminum ones and I am curious if you have any recommendations for protecting the inner polished sides? Thanks.
I'll be honest... that wheel looked like garbage at the beginning... I would have chucked it. This now it going to have me looking for vintage wheels to restore. Thanks man👍 Very informative on the process of using a 400 then a 220 depending on the sanding device. Would you consider doing a training course DVD or media version for those of us that are in the southern or western US?
@@garychandler4296 this rack cost $15. By the time I cut the boards and screw them together and take the time I could be polishing and making money. LOL
If I rotary I try to start at 400 and get a good start. But you can just do 600 if you wanted to. Definitely lots of ways that work. Thanks for watching.

Yeah my old videos have it and my new videos. Very important.
Appreciate the videos and tips also love using those extension cord clamps for keeping my cords nice and tight I do the same thing take as much cord as needed and keep the clamp on the remainder
You bet. It's the little things in life that make life great.
i did my first job with a rotary and my metal had alot of streaks in it. was that from the sanding or from cutting?
I would have to see the streaks to know which is which. If you want you can text pictures of the streaks to me at 9209790386 and I can help you decipher what went wrong.
What do you recommend to take off clear on aluminum wheels?

Thank you, I truly appreciate it. I enjoy being able to help others. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Can you sand out scratches to blend in with the existing area
In most instances yes. Sometimes in extreme conditions no. Great question.
Just found your channel and subbed. Well done. I'm restoring a 75 Honda 360T with pitted chrome and runs on the alum. Been using 0000 on the alum and chrome that has surface rust and I'm just getting the chrome down to a beautiful shine and polish. The lower fork's on the bike and the engine fins, I'm using a drill with compound and a grinding (cloth) wheel. I'd like to use my Makita but never have tried it.
Enjoy your post
I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope your project went or is going well.
Are you using a makita grinder with a sanding pad on it? Or a orbital sander?
I use both depending on what I need to accomplish.
Do you wet sand? I’m just starting to do pontoons on boats and I am hearing I should wet sand then cut then polish.
I personally never wet sand. Getting the aluminum wet and gummy makes a lot harder work for me to polish so I avoid it. But that is me personally.
Hey Evan! Are you using 5 inch discs on your rotary? What backing pad are you using?...it has a nice flex I see. Thanks in advance
Please check the description on the video for this information. Thanks for watching!
Thank for your expertise and time.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Is it possible to sand too much? If you used too low of a sand like a 150,200 ? Would you have to do that to the whole wheel to make it even ?
Ever do tool boxes? Is it difficult to try and sand in between the crevices on diamond plate?
Great job showing and thanks
Thank you for watching.
Hey man, if you had access to a sand blaster, would that work? Or should we just stick to those power tools and your technique?
Sand blasting makes the metal really hot and in my opinion it makes it really tough to polish. It is almost like it burns the metal. I avoid sand blasted parts.
Would you cover cast aluminum parts? I have some engine parts I’d like to shine up at home. Thank you and best wishes.
I will be in the near future.
Thanks for the video great info and what do you recommend using for a the setting on orbital sander wide open or on a lower setting?
Thanks for sharing. Be nice to have a booth with downdraft to pull dust away from work. Much like a paint booth. Take care.
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching. We do have a filter system.
Hi Evan, what is the speed of the rotary polisher? Are you also adding pressure? So we need to tilt the disc and polish?
Thank you!
Is sanding necessary for just oxidation? What would happen if you used an orange wheel and brown compound from the start? I'm doing an old pontoon boat and want the toons shiny but not taking it to a show.
I always try to buff without sanding. I only sand when necessary. I try to avoid sanding at all costs. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I'm doing the exact same thing, this answers ALL my prayers and gonna save 2 days!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
👊🏼
@@user-yi8pf8on6w well I found that sanding is totally necessary with bad oxidation and probly the most important step. Just gotta be really careful with grit.

On DEWALT DWP849X variable speed polisher what will be the rpm for sanding?
Same speed. 1400-2200.
DIYer here. Want to shine my (extremely oxidized) aluminum boat. Would you recommend either of these tools and methods over another, or neither?
Boats are usually pretty thin. Unless you mean a pontoon. If it is a thin side boat then I recommend just doing a da. Lowest grit gets it smooth and the other grits working up make it polishable. If it is a pontoon then you can just do these steps from the video. Thanks for watching and supporting.

What sort of tracks are visible after either method. After buffing process can one see any sanding marks, especially with the rotary method? Thanks. (I'm talking eyeball at 6")
Not sure what you mean.
Do you wear your mask when your sanding or only when your polishing?
Both. Aluminum dust is bad for you.

What is the best rpm to sand using a rotary?
I recommend 1800-2200 on the rotary.
Hello thank you Im starting againg and have two of those to do tommorow ! I just need to get me a small grinder and that sand paper!
Hope everything turned out, sorry for the late response.

Q: Is the polisher rotary or DA?
The real Down N' Dirty.. Thanks Boi!!!
Super Important Information
Thank you. Much appreciated. I try to be as informative as possible.
I sanded my Pete front grill. 320,400,600 and after cut and polish still have sand swirls. What did I do wrong ?. Sanded with a Makita Da
Likely moved to fast with the sander or didn't wear the paper in or got something stuck in the paper.
Hey Evan what rpm do u recommend for the rotary for sanding?
Love the videos and I’m learning a lot
Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciate that.
Thank you so much Evan, learning a ton!

@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing hey thanks a bunch !
So what brand sandpaper do you use? Very informative video. Thanks Evan
We sell what we use on goshineon.com. But Mirka makes the blend that we use. It isn't something you can just get off the counter.
What rpm are you spinning the rotary?
I want to get a t shirt that says "Polish the World." in honor of this guy.
I could get you one made lol we print our own apparel in our shop. If you want anything checkout out goshineon.com website or email melinda@goshineon.com
Curious as to what rpm you are running and what model grinder
I have all the links in my descriptions but I personally run Makita 6,000 rpm.
Which one is the best machine rotary or DA?
I prefer makita rotary and da. But it is a personal preference thing.
Great video! My question is this. I have a snare drum made of aluminum I want to smooth and polish. The problem is it has chrome plating on it that is pitting and peeling off. It looks really bad. Any suggestions on how to remove the chrome plating so I can polish the aluminum underneath???
Do you hold the rotary flat?
I hold it up on the right edge. Great question. thanks for watching.
what kind of sandpaper do you use for Aluminum?
some people use silicon carbide sand paper for aluminum.
They say avoid using the aluminum-oxide sandpaper on Aluminum itself.
What do you use on Aluminum?
I use aluminum oxide and had great results.
Sir, after you sand the aluminum do you put something on it ? I ask because the front forks tubes on my motorcycle looks like your rim. I want to grind it off and then what leave it smooth as is? thank you
After I sand it I buff it with my 2 step aluminum buff setup.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing Do you show that 2 step process anywhere?
?? How much pressure are you applying on the DA sander??
Thanks!!
medium to moderate pressure.
What about drive wheels?Do you have a video using the same process on drive wheels?
I don't sand drive wheels on the truck. Only off but this winter I will do a how to sand a wheel video on here.
I love the way you do thinks and I learning allot I think I'm ready for my rig I will sent you the link I helpmi do good job
Awesome thank you!
How must should I be looking to pay for polishing my dump truck wheels 24.5 in good condition. 6 wheels. Just ballpark please
I price everything by the piece and depends where you live. Everyone charges different based on their cost of living in their area and the cost of their materials.
Hi Evan. What scotcbrite wheel do you use to take off clear coat on aluminum?
You can find them on our site at www.goshineon.com
I wanna know why the new husky pneumatic rotary sander has Diablo pads that don't stick.
I thought getting a pneumatic would be like my crap hyper tough velcro style and it's not.
Start sanding and the Diablo pads just fly right off, that's after peeling the backing off to "stick" to the pad lol
I only use velcro. Working in a dust filled dirty shop doesn't do well with sticky back sand paper. Plus diablo paper is less than ideal for aluminum. It can be used on it as that is what it says on the box. But it isn't made for working on aluminum that needs polished.
Do you know from sanding to red and brown cutting?
You definitely can. But I always use brown compound first on aluminum. No matter what.
Quick question. What do you use to protect your final finish, after your final step with an airway?
The compound is filled with greases and waxes. The compound seals it up.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thanks for the response. I usually go back over it with your liquid heavy cut compound. Am I doing to much or being to cautious? This Utah weather really tends to beat up the aluminum.
what speed setting like number wise on the grinder for sanding the tank? thanks heaps
I usually run around 2200 rpm. Not sure where that matches with your speed setting but just a personal preference thing.
Do you need to worry about the aluminum dust?
Absolutely. Aluminum dust is hazardous to your health.
Can i use rotary for sanding to extra fine like a P2000 sand paper and then polishing?
You surely can. Everyone has their own way.
Thanks so much... very clear and precise..
You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
Have you ever tried forced rotation/gear driven dual action? Like a Flex 3401 or Rotex? What are your thoughts on it for metal sanding?

Rotary for sure cuts deeper without a doubt. But sometimes finesse is key. Just my opinion. Thank you for the killer comment. Appreciate the support on my channel.
Hey Evan, awesome videos man. Are both rotary and da both using 5" pads and paper? Thank you
Yes they are! I find 5" leaves less waste.
Where can I find the sanding pad that you are using on the rotary ? That is the ga7021 grinder, correct ?
goshineon.com/shop has the backing pads.
Do you prefer air da or electric da?
Electric.
At what rpm r u doing it with the rotary
Quick question what do you run that makita DA at RPM wise?
Half speed.
what do you think of semi chrome polish?
To each their own I would say. I use my own Time2Shine products. Thanks for watching.
Great videos, first time viewer asnd new subscriber. Question, I am replacing my painted 22.5 with some new aluminum ones and I am curious if you have any recommendations for protecting the inner polished sides? Thanks.
What do you mean?
Sorry I meant what are your suggestions for protecting the polished inner sides of the wheels when they're so hard to reach.
I'll be honest... that wheel looked like garbage at the beginning... I would have chucked it. This now it going to have me looking for vintage wheels to restore. Thanks man👍 Very informative on the process of using a 400 then a 220 depending on the sanding device. Would you consider doing a training course DVD or media version for those of us that are in the southern or western US?
I’ve thought about it only issue is if I sell one dvd what stops anyone from ripping it and posting it? No way to protect the content.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing I understand, it can be hard to capture that.
Very helpful thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
What speed do you run the rotary at?
Usually 1800-2200 rpm depending on the grit and what I'm working on.
What kind of stand is that under the fuel tank? Where can I get one?
Harbor freight body panel stand.
I would get about 2 or 3 2x4's and some screws to make an X buck, top off with a moving blanket. Probably a lot cheaper.
@@garychandler4296 this rack cost $15. By the time I cut the boards and screw them together and take the time I could be polishing and making money. LOL
what rpm is the makita at with the 400 grit when u doing tank please ?
I spin between 1800 and 2100 rpm depending on the mood of my day. LOL
Hi Evan. What is reason for not going faster like 12000 rpm? Thanks and thank you for sharing
@@peterolesens Airway buffs are only rated to hold up to 3500 rpm. The buffs would explode at that fast. Very dangerous

What if yours rim aren't dat bad can it start at 600 rotary
If I rotary I try to start at 400 and get a good start. But you can just do 600 if you wanted to. Definitely lots of ways that work. Thanks for watching.

What is the pad called on your website
Sanding backing pad is the rotary pad name. It is in the sanding tab.
