TheWheelGuy. Citroen C3 Picasso "diamond cut" alloy wheel refurbishment.

On the job refurb of another set of trashed diamond cut alloys. I had 4 sets of wheels to do on the day (I only refurb trade) and at the moment I am absolutely bombed out with nearly every type of Diamond cut wheel...If theres any specific type you would be interested in watching, please let me know..when i come accross it, ill stick the camera on.

I just bought a Citroen C3 MKII with these wheels, and they are a mess. Loads of curb rash and failed clear coat. I've watched a good few of your videos, so I feel confident having a go.

Can you let the alloy polished without clear coat ? Will it get corroded if you don't ? Or is this just for looks ?

useful video but with one major flaw - you left the dust cap off the Tyre valve for the whole process, which is a pretty dusty process ! not good for the valve unfortunately

[@cristianrivas7540]

Can one do this with a orbital sander?

[@macraghnaill3553]

What is the cost of this?

[@steveplus2]

do you need to worry about any clear coat on the wheel?

[@BBoySewo]

For bare aluminium you need DTM (direct to metal) clear coat. Otherwise any different one will peel off after a year or two

[@ivokoressaar2760]

You can use use none DTM clear coat if you use adhesive promoter before

[@SHK_T]

this is not the proper way to refurbish diamond cut wheels, you need a diamond cutting lathe to achieve that OEM polished face finish.

You obviously have no idea what inverted commas are used for you Dope

But in a van it’s a decent effort 😊

I always find comments like this weird. They’re not claiming it’s the same. It’s a different method that is significantly cheaper with similar result.
