Heaven I look at a lot of videos like this but man you to me you're absolutely the best dude thanks for being so nice informative and really just Hands-On showing us everything that there is man
Hey Evan, just want to say thank you for all the videos. So helpful. The only thing I'm scratching my head on now is how to polish my logging headache rack. However I do it it's going to be a long process.
I’ve been checking out your tutorial videos and just want to say you are extremely talented keep up the great work. Very inspirational to say the least.
Hey Evan, is there a product more effective at removing asphalt than diesel? I have clients that primarily haul asphalt, and it gets everywhere. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Also, thanks for all the videos they have really helped improve my quality and efficiency of work.
Great video learning quite a bit have you ever polished grain trailer wondering about the rails there’s a lot of rivets probably needs sanded but not sure how you could unless you did it all by hand Thanks again for all the info and tips
I love your videos and they help a lot but I have a question, why does everyone recommend a 6,000 rpm but the airwaves are recommended for 3,400-3,000?? I’m debating on a new grinder but if I don’t need a high rpm one I will save the 40$.
I like the high speed because I can build and maintain heat much faster. And for me and my shop time is money and no one ever offers to sell me more time. LOL
Evan I appreciate all you effort you put into your videos, there truly helpful. I was hoping for a little advice. How would you recommend pricing steps on the side of a Pete tank? If you think about the two steps plus the two pieces of sheet on each side is it a $30-$40 service or more $60-$80 service? I know condition and final condition will vary but any broad guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Great question but it depends what you are all doing. On the Pete steps I normally just do the faces of the steps and not the tops. Tops alter the price greatly as they chew up buffs and compounds. So that inherently needs to come at a higher price. I do step tops/treads at a minimum of $20-30 each tread area depending on the condition. The complete step may be $30-80 depending. So you nailed the pricing right on the head.
The peterbilt are the spikey cheese grater-looking steps? Renegade was selling this red buff specifically for truck steps. Didn’t specify kenworth peterbilt though
I personally use the hot steppa buffs from goshineon.com on peterbilt steps and regular buffs for ken worth steps. Kenworths have enough room in between the circles to get the buff in there. Whereas the peterbilt ones are tighter spots and require more finesse.
i have some step treads that are in awful condition, really rough with tons of deep pits, is there a good way to sand the treads? Ive been using a satin wheel first to knock down the roughness but its not able to smooth the pitting out and it destroys the wheel quickly. Just wondered if you have any tricks or should I just concentrate more with the heavy cut compound and let the heat work more? Great videos, learning a lot!
There really isn't a great solution to your problem. Any option is really pricey. I avoid doing them once they get rough. Too costly to polish and still make money on my end. Sorry I'm not great help in this dept.
All good, thanks! I got them done, almost killed me very long process. I usually don’t acid wash first but in this case I thnk it helped. Also learned less rpm on the buffer is beneficial the punchouts in the step generate a lot of heat, i was burning a lot of compound working at a higher rpm. Good videos! Appreciate the help!
Awesome tutorial also you could also say it work for us in Europe as catwalk area are similar or near similar as that looks like the Volvo fh series and scania s series standard catwalks
Hey Evan I tried to do the steps on my kw and i left so much residue around all the treads then it won't come of when you go over it the the airway. What am I doing wrong?
How rough are they? If they are really rough it will build up a lot of compound. Send me some pics to my cell phone and I will try to help walk you through how to fix or adjust.
Hey Evan thank you for all your responses. I do have one silly question for you and the pro's out there. I've noticed in allot of your videos you mention the various RPM's to use in different applications. Well let's say i get the makita 9237CX3 with a variable speed dial, 0-3200 RPM's, as your going through the speed dial 1,2,3 etc. is there a chart that tells you the RPM's for that particular speed dial number. Thank you as always
If they are rough yes. But I personally don't sand them. I don't do them if they are that rough. Sanding it takes a ton of time and can keep someone from making money. If it is your own thing then cost isn't an issue. But that is just the way I do them.
Most people can. Most people don't want to. That is why my business thrives and survives. But I do the videos to help those that want to master their craft. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate the feedback.

Glad you like them! Thank you for the compliment. I will try to keep putting out more great content.
Nice technique! Background music blends perfectly with grinder noise.
Thank you.
Man your skills are greatly needed in southwest Louisiana. Come on and open a shop.
Maybe one day!

@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing Thank you for responding, I genuinely appreciate it. Keep up the fantastic work.
Just wondering if you would recommend using a new or "almost ready for the trash" pad when polishing the step treads?
On Kenworth step treads I use new ones but on Peterbilt steps I use almost trash ones.
I'm going to sleep early tonight.
Ooo Evan dropped a new video. I got time
Lol that’s funny. Thanks for watching. Truly appreciate you
Evan Steger appreciate all the tips and walk throughs. I've learned more from your videos and talking to you then I would have anywhere else.

Glad to help
Can you do a polishing video with the 9227C
Yeah I have one video but I will make some more.
Simple as that🤣🤣🤣
That was nice💯😎
Still something there I need to figure out though, I get to work on it today 🤣 Thanks
You can do it! If I can do it anyone can do it.
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Hi, really nice vids, what is the "green compound"?
I'll do all that polishing it in my firetruck.
Green is a coloring compound. Check out my video on the difference in compounds. It'll help understand a lot when it comes to compounds.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing Thank you for your reply, keep it up!!
Can you do one with heat shield/exhaust shield
I don't do heat shields or exhaust shields I'm sorry.
What rpm are you running the buffer at ?
I run all my cut buffs at 6,000 rpm and all of my color buffs at around 1400-1800 rpm
Hey Evan I tried to do the steps on my kw and i left so much residue around all the treads then it won't come of when you go over it the the airway. What am I doing wrong?

@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing what number do I send to?
I also had this time issue. What was the solution??

Should be a diagram sticker on the machine.
Thank you.
Look good, what rpm?
I run 6,000 rpm but you can run any speed under 6k.
Yea just what I was looking for
Thanks for watching.
Hey what about for international 9900 is eagle?
Those are anodized and you can't do anything with those.
I'd love a tutorial of the step cover back on the floor being done especially if its a smooth aluminum one i hate doing mine.
I think I have an old one here on my channel but it is on the list to redo this video.
👍 nice job!
Thank you.
Do you have to sand the steps first?
If they are rough yes. But I personally don't sand them. I don't do them if they are that rough. Sanding it takes a ton of time and can keep someone from making money. If it is your own thing then cost isn't an issue. But that is just the way I do them.

How do you do the Peterbilt steps
I have a video of exactly how to here on my channel.
wont they. get dirty quickly from stepping on them ?
Yes. But some still want them dove.
Hell yeah!
Thank you
Cool
Is that a 3500 or 6000
6,000 rpm
What do you use on diamond Plate tool boxes please comment back
I have a video here on my channel showing exactly how to do diamond plate boxes.

You should invest in a whole head respirator

IMO this Makita grinder(6k RPM) has to much power to do KW steps
I agree. It is not for everyone.
Lol thanks
no problem. glad to help

Your face doesn’t need to be that dirty
Have you polished before? When buffing steps you won't have much of a choice. That dust gets everywhere. Thank you for watching.
That aluminum dust is really not good for you bro Causes Alzheimer’s
That’s why I wear a full face respirator and lotion up everyday.
@Upnorth Kenny Haha, funny you mention that. . You should look up sometime 👆.
