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.
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
These are diamond cut, you’re left with a flat polished finish which does contrast with the factory cut and lacquered finish a bit but still better than an unsightly scuff.
@@CarCleaningGuru ahh i thought they looked like diamond cuts. So does the polishing process stop them from corroding in the future? Or do they really need to be lacquered/sealed like they would be out of the factory. I ask as i have a bunch of scuffs on my V40s diamond cuts
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!

Love a full video on this
This is beautiful!
(Fab job on the rash + exceptional short- IMO, this is what a short should be) I will now go to the full video to get the details
That’s the idea!
Love the soundtrack! Video is very informative as well.
Did you polish all the machine lines out of the whole rim ?
Very nice I’ll also third this suggestion for a full video
Well it’s done now so unless I scuff another one on purpose lol.
@@CarCleaningGuru do it for us 🤭
@@CarCleaningGuru just take some wheels off a car at a store car park. You'll find some scuffed ones eventually!
@@CarCleaningGuru You can demo my accord rims lmao

Fake comment

Yes would love to see the full video of this, which wet n dry grit to use etc.👍👍
Yes
Wow! I’ll be looking for a full video soon! Thanks!
Nice vid guru
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 ;)
Video is so simple and straight to the point love it! ❤
Wow! Looks like new!
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!
What grit(s) sand paper did you use bro?
This is so satisfying
Amazing work 💯
What products did you use?
Its a secret apparently
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
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
Great job.
Love the music 💯🤌🏼
Nice brother. Nice!
*appreciating the essence of Gran Turismo background music 👌🏼
Brilliant video diy is always good
I got it.. great vid!!!!
nice job man 👌👌
В любом случае будет отличаться от заводской проточки , но уж лучше так .
What product did you use for the buffing?
Turtle Wax One & Done Compound.
I need this kit
Good job..I scratched my wheels on my 2017 corolla..and I was worried chrome can't b fixed at all..
So since was a machined surfaced rim, did you notice the one polished part?
Hello, good video, can you tell me what material you use because my car rims are scratched
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.
Amazing! What was used for this process!?
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.
What was the liquid poured on at the end
What grit of sandpaper was used?
What polisher is that ?
What mini polisher are you using there buddy?
Did you not need any paint?
Che carte abrasive hai usato poi indicare tutti i passaggi?

What tools did you use
you need to put a clearcoat on it.
What polisher is that your using ??
Hi what’s the grades of sanding paper did you use ?
What machine polisher is this? 😊
What grit of sand paper was used?
What kind of polish gun is that? And pad? Plz lmk
Name a list of all the items that you use
Music sounds like gran turismo
Nice
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
Name of rubbing machine??
Can you buy that in a kit ???
Wheel needed to be balanced afterwards.
With the amount you remove is less then a gram I don't think it's that critical
Satisfying
Doing this for mustang wheels tmr
🤞
i wish you had a mobile business near me.
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 if my wheel has texture😢
Sanded the whole of the face of the wheel not just the curb
Ojo todo es cuestión de tener paciencia 👍
What grit sand paper?
Helo ano po product pls ang ano ko ng liha pls??
why’d you blue you’re son in the first part but not while he was in the SUV? or was that a mistake ?
Think I would have used a Dremmel?
Grit sand paper?
Ok now buff out all the tooling marks out of the rest of the wheels so they all match
I’d rather keep the original cut lines and have one small polished spot.
I do love me some polished aluminium..
Except my rims are black. But looks good
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
😂
Vídeo muito bom
What grit Sandpaper?
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.
You did this the hardest possible way lmao
What supplies did you use? Thanks
Should be some details in the description.
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.
Wow, because I've never seen them rims before...
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.
Where are you located 😊
No clear coat?
Ceramic coating and just keep it clean.
3.5 yrs ltr.
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.
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.
This wouldn't work with diamond cut?
These are diamond cut, you’re left with a flat polished finish which does contrast with the factory cut and lacquered finish a bit but still better than an unsightly scuff.
Yeh the final sanding marks were an option but decided to polish and blend, doesn’t look too bad overall.
@@CarCleaningGuru ahh i thought they looked like diamond cuts. So does the polishing process stop them from corroding in the future? Or do they really need to be lacquered/sealed like they would be out of the factory. I ask as i have a bunch of scuffs on my V40s diamond cuts
Ahora quedo una parte pulida y la otra sin pulir
Link for this kit/product? 💯
Should be rough details in the description.
@@CarCleaningGuru Ok thank you
Given the wheel is painted I am genuinely perplexed as to how you did this without repainting
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!
Vorher war Glanz gedreht danach war poliert dann musst ja die ganze Felge so machen
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.
thanks what products did you use?
Should all be linked in the description!

Is it worth polishing all 4 rims? 🤔
Only if they’re all scuffed up.
No paint or lacquer??
Just ceramic coat
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.
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
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
