      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?

    • @YaBoiRoy
      @YaBoiRoy  9 месяцев назад +2

      @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

    • @InvadedEntity

      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.

    • @YaBoiRoy
      @YaBoiRoy  9 месяцев назад

      @mvmracing I would probably pay 20 to 25 bucks a wheel

    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

      I used to be painter. And we would use steel wool to sand molding. We could get to all nooks n crannies

    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.
