Fair play, David, well done for tackling jobs that many of us would be too faint hearted to tackle. I've watched CRV's videos and he is an absolute magician!
Thanks mate, he has give me so much help and advice over the past year. Really nice guy and his channel is great
Nice one David....a very good DIYer improvement to the alloy wheel 👏👏
Thanks 👍
Fantastic video showing how it can be done at home. I’d be so scared to tackle it but would love a go on some scrap wheels to see what could be done
That’s essentially what these are mate, they did turn out really nice tho so I would give it a bash again in the future. Its just an option that can save people a fortune when it comes time to had back a car if the dreaded corrosion has set in
Savage David fair play to you on the job done on the alloys also fair play to you doing it in shorts n t-shirt in Scottish winter 😂
Thanks mate, I had actually recorded these videos a while ago so thankfully it wasn’t so cold when I was getting them done
Great transformation 👌
Thank you 🙌
This was proper interesting, David, a great bit of content. My diamonds are a mess and need a refurb, unfortunately there are some pretty deep sratches, so I'm not sure i could do this, not wothoit some kind of filler. The cost of doing a diamond cut wheel down here isnt far short of new wheel money, that could also be an option.... when I'm rich 😅😂
Thanks Lee, you would be surprised at what you can sand out of alloys mate, these were a disaster and turned out amazing. It’s the same up here, your north of £200 a wheel in some places which I just couldn’t justify paying on car that only cost that much lol
Look good pal do you have a link to the kit at all
Thanks mate, here’s the link to the kit www.paintgear.co.uk/products/paint-gear-77mm-sanding-kit-x4-wheel-repair-drill-adaptor-backing-pad
Could I apply aircraft remover to make the clear coat come off easier before sanding?
I’ve never used a product like that so really have no idea how it works
Not for me mate way above my pay scale and if it is like machine polishing you can ask Michael how long I stuck out trying to master that skill even though I really wanted to learn. I would just pay a guy I'm afraid. The wheels came up really good I am a fan of silver alloys from a guy that has Diamond cut on both cars and yes after selling my Mini to finance the i-Pace I relented and bought another car which has since been replaced after a year of ownership as I needed well wanted a tow bar for my tow bar mounted bike carrier to transport my electric bike to allow me to venture further than round about here.
You go through more cars than a dealership John 🤣🤣. I do like diamond cut wheels, they can just start to corrode so easily if they aren’t taken care of
diamond cut is definitely not polished.
No it is not, its just an option that some people may want to consider
It’s personal preference when doing a custom job.
