The longer videos the better. You learn in the process
I am glad to help. Thanks for watching.
I was thinking I was doing something wrong with how I keep catching on the holes in the wheel, but I see it really is just something that you can't do much about. Just keep going
Exactly. Thank you for watching.
I love to see a positive bond between owners & employees.
You guys are impressive 😊
Appreciate it. Thank you
As a beginner I really appreciate the more detailed videos 👍👍👍
Happy to hear that you are finding these videos helpful! Thanks for watching.
Thank you I've learned alot more from you than the guys that showed me how to polish!
Happy to help you out, thanks for watching.
Special thanks to the GOAT, for helping me learn how to polish on my W900. Thank you for your videos they are greatly appreciated!! Evan is the best out there no question about it
I’m far from the best. But thank you for the compliment. Truly means a lot. Thank you.
Love these in depth videos! Explain, show, explain while showing. Gold 👌🏼 So many things I’ve learned when I started polishing rims. Thanks Evan and your crew! Awesome videos especially showing different situations and how to approach them!!
Truly happy to know that these videos are helpful. I appreciate you supporting the channel and taking time to comment.
As always another great video answers questions and learned new way to polish correctly... thanks for all you do for us little guys... appreciate all you do thru your videos.
Our pleasure! Glad to help. Thank you for watching and commenting. Means a lot
Great job fellas! Very professional and consistent polishing thank you for the tips. I live in the northeast and the roads are pretty shit during the winter months.
We try to be as professional as possible. Thank you for watching.
I haven't been doing this long maybe 6 or 7 months at the most and I have watched your videos since I started, and I watched this video the other day and then the next day and I done it the way you did in the video and it literally probably cut my time in half, I'm kinda slow at it, but all your videos are helping me so much and helping me do a better job and do it faster
That is awesome to hear. Time is always money and I'm glad to hear you cut your time down.
Just purchased my first rig, this video definitely worth the time to do a quick but quality polish job💯
Thank you for watching and for the support.
Awesome videos,very detailed and helpful. With help from your videos and my friend Keegan I'm polishing my truck for the first time.
That’s awesome. Thanks for watching.
Great video brother i like how you expanded exactly what to do kept it short simple and straight to the point thank you sir you got yourself a new subscriber
Glad to help. Some of my videos may seem long winded but they need to be sometimes to get the exact point across. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
the water ring while on the truck i use a small grinder and use the pads that get smaller from polishing with large grinder . works great , good job Evan
Great tip! Thanks for watching and supporting.
Looks good Evan. Thanks for the tip at the end. 👍🏻👍🏻
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching all the way to the end.
Good job, answers a few questions. Thanks Dale.
No problem. Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video Evan, this explains a lot and will help going forward.
Glad it was helpful! I am glad to help anytime. Thanks for watching.
How you do fuel tanks
@@brucebeasley1673 We have a how to polish fuel tank video. Check it out.
Doing the drives is a bear this is my 3rd season doing my own each time it gets faster and a little easier there is definitely a learning curve to this. It is NOT as easy as this guy makes it look he is definitely very experienced and professional.
Yeah I have been doing it 20 years this year and roughly 100,000 wheels under my belt. I have developed a pattern and a technique that works well for me. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing I'm not having any luck. All I can manage is to bring up a lot of black muck
@@kelleyhunt.7214 Not sure what you mean by black muck.
I enjoy polishing my own truck. Definitely a sense of satisfaction but damn you sure do make it look easy lol. I know that it comes with time and technique. Thanks for posting 🤙🏼
It does. I've been polishing 20 years and I am grateful to have done it everyday. Thanks for watching.
Hoping to have 3 trucks polished at GBATS this year. Definitely going to have at least one of my custoners there. Love the in depth video and the little tips and tricks. Last year was the first time in a hot minute i had done any machine polishing and forgot some of the tricks.
Happy to hear that the videos are helpful to you. Thank you for watching.
Evan thnk u very much .i realy learned a lot from your videos .your buffing technique is PRO .i buffed my motorbike rims like mirror of course with help of your videos.
I didnt know that there is a final step that shoul be done by hand wow .
again Thank u Evan
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
Awesome vid guys!!
The more I watch the more I learn😎
Glad you like em. I’ll keep em coming.
Going to try and polish my own wheels and tanks this weekend Great video
Hope it helped. Thanks for watching.
How many hours did it take you?
@@tylerjames4666 For the entire truck 2-3 hours.
Looks awesome. Need to try it out on my log truck.
Absolutely.
Love these long videos, with detailed explanation. I just pour a beverage,kick back,and enjoy as I learn. Thx
I really appreciate that. Means a lot.
You're awesome brother. Well done.
Thank you. Appreciate your support.
Great work it dont matter long or short perfect every time
Thank you much appreciated.
Free tip, been a tri-axle dump truck driver for a paving company for 30 yrs. So u can imagine how long it before any kind of love comes to our truck. new guys are proud, wanna make their truck, theirs. TIP; power wash wheel, soak with easy off, scrub with dish soap and a course 3m foam drywall sander block, rinse. done! 5 mins TOPS, per wheel, and tanks, 20 mins tops! hit again with finer grade sanding block and so on. just for guys without jacks, buffers and what not. Sick vid for in my own shop tho dude. Thumbs up from me guy!
Great info. Thanks for watching.
What do u use to jack the truck up?
Are both sides of the axle up and spinning?
After the winter, I start to clean my wheels with SOS pads and soapy water, then sand the faces. And then I followed your process of polishing. It sure is harder than you make it look. It turns out pretty darn ok to me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I used to do the same.
If you want to preserve your shine, furniture polish works amazing water just beads right off the shine really lasts long. You still have to do your maintenance hand polish every couple months or so at least I do.
After watching these video's, my wheels look much better then before !! Thanks !
Well done guys that Wheel came out nice 💯😎
It is far from perfect but for a work truck in the mess everyday he was more than happy. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and supporting.
You make it look easy great video!
Thanks for watching.
Great job I was on the fence on to take them off or leave them but since there 22” forces I think I’ll take them off plus I want to do the inner dull !👍
That is the best way to do it.
Really I appreciate your videos!
Glad to help.
Great video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for all the great vids
Thank you for watching them!
Awesome job
Thank you! Cheers!
U guys do. Awsome work...

GOOD JOB EVAN AND TY
Thanks bud.
Great vid I been watching you vids ever since i started polishing 4 years ago and they helped me alot you def have the passion for keep up the good work cheers from canada
I appreciate that. Glad to help.
Evan real nice work on those rims. I've done some on my Harley, Big Dog Chopper and cars before by hand. Nice using the machine to do the work for you.
One suggestion is to also have your helper use a respirator as no one wants to breathe the dust and compound/silicone into their lungs.
Again real nice work!
Thank you appreciate the input.
top vid mate.see you on the next one
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Good job, more videos pls, thank you for sharing be safe out there

Hey Evan, enjoy watching your videos, super helpful and learn a lot. Could you make a video or give advice on how to safely jack up a truck to do what you’re doing in this video? I am looking to buy your polishing kit for the 4 fire trucks in my firehouse. We have bottle jacks available all the way up to 40 ton. Thanks again!
That is one of our next videos. We are currently working on a video on how to properly jack a truck. Thanks for watching.
Thank you
You're welcome

Only one respiratory mask. Thanks for sharing awesome job both of you.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Good vid 🤙🏾once again
Thanks 💯 Appreciate that.
Great video full of info, Thank You.
Question, I've got mine already done by hand but not as bright as a wheel. Sense I've got a hand shine could or can I just use the color wheel to finish it off? Newbie here.
I never just color. But what I do is if the wheel is nice I start with a softer buff on my cut to reduce the amount of hashmarks. I will have a video out on this soon. Thank you for watching and supporting.
Great job looks good. Just curious when are you going to do a video or have you done one and I missed it about polishing the inside holes inside of the rim?
I’m shooting it soon and I’ll get it edited.
I’ve been looking for a video for that as well.
Totally awesome video from me the big fella
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching bud.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing you've hit it on the nail for the length and in depth on how to do it safely and properly also the podcast I'd definitely be up for it as you said it be great to have different perspectives on uk products compared to America
@@keithsamuel3856 I'm looking forward to it.
If u could come up with a motor with a rubber wheel that would go up against the tire and would have a pedal to step on to make it turn… That would be gold… lol. Great job!!!!!👍👍
I agree. I’ve been waiting on someone to create one. Lol
I’m having a hard time leaving black streaks on the wheel just wondering what I’m doing wrong? Love the videos and appreciate any advice thanks
What kind of black streaks. Send a picture of the black streaks to 9209790386 and I will do my best to get you headed in the right direction.
Just wondering what you would do different if the rim was off the truck, and you need to get a respirator for Ty when he is next to you and the Makita. The dust you kicked up when you first hit the second rim while Ty was hand polishing was pretty thick. Just sayin'. I really enjoy your videos, Thank you for all your effort to make them.
If the rim as off the truck I would lean it up against a wall and polish sections. I also have a jig that I use. And Ty has a respirator just chooses not to wear it. Can lead a horse to water but never force it to drink. Some horses will drown instead of drink.
Always use an aluminum acid to clean the aluminum first it will make the polishing much easier!
I highly disagree with that statement but to each their own. I personally find avid makes more work and does long term damage to the wheel. Most people don’t properly neutralize it before polishing and then the first moisture you hit it reactivates and starts eating at your shine. I’d rather sand than use acid.
Hey Evan Love the videos fantastic work you do, I do drive a semi 2024 cascadia and want to do the same thing to my wheels Will steer and drive however I had a quick question, I really don't want to invest in another grinder. I have a grinder at home, a Ryobi, the max level 11,000 RPMs and I know that's way too fast I also have a DeWalt corded drill that maxed out at 2500 RPMs. It's one of those better than the other and will the 2500 RPM drill be sufficient? Look forward to your response thanks man
Nice work. I got some chrome cleaner on Aluminum tank & wheels, now left with drip streaks. Best way to make it look better. I don’t have a lot of time in a day to work it out. Is there a neutral chem I can use to make it look how it should?
Hand polish or recut and color is only option. No amount of cleaner will fix chemical burn. Sorry
More in depth vids 👌
I’m on it.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thanks to you and your videos i went out and swapped over to the stuff you use so $540 aud later 😂👌
@@MsSonofmacca Well I'm glad to help
Evan is Tom Sawyer. Somehow tricked us into enjoying this hard dirty work haha
Lmmfao. Yas.
So I could do this on my F350 leaving the wheels on and since I have chrome caps it should look great and I don’t have to fiddle with the lug nuts. Thanks. 🤙
If they are bare aluminum then yes you definitely could. I do pickup rims without removing all the time.
What is best to use to remove road grim and dirt that like baked onto my stainless exhaust stacks .
hi mate you doing exactly all right thanks for new hacks and tips could you please share me step 2 polish brand and finisher polish brand I've been using polish but it's not good like you
check out all of our products here! www.goshineon.com
It's my intention to polish out my '16 Cascadia. 10 aluminum wheels a 120 gal fuel tank, near full deck plates, a 50 side saddle Hydrolic tank and a Diamond plate pickup tool box. And the aluminum steps problem is I'm in the muck of a steel mill 2 weeks out of the month.
You'll get it brotha. When the time is right you will get it.
Hello, thanks for your videos, how do you polish between the nuts?
I do it all by hand with a cotton Terry pad and Terry towel. If the wheel is rough I use luhmi and if it is nice I use time2shine aluminum polish. All of these items are available on goshineon.com

I love how that dust cloud came to him and he turned and looked at it and went what the hell
He's a knucklehead for sure.
And then jesus said let there be light and there was light and he saw that it was good. And he was well pleased.
@@cbradiomizfit7562 🤫🤫
@@GEO-vc1pc Nope...
Been practicing on a rim and got clear solid reflection when using the scuff pad on a grinder then cut and color. Then went into sanding to remove pits and seem to not get a clear reflection at the end of the cut and color. Why would this be. I know something in the sanding stage does it but can’t figure out why.
Well that's a tough way to make it Buck but this sure does look nice when you're done bro
It isn’t easy but I love it. Thanks for watching.
Hey Evan, I drive a 2019 Peterbilt concrete mixer but don’t have access to any machines, do you by any chance have any tips on how to do wheels like this by hand?
This is all new to me. Can you explain what product and wheel first and wheel and product second. What do you mean by color? Thanks and what kit do you suggest from your store? First truck with aluminum rims…I like shine!
Hello, you can email questions to evan@goshineon.com and I can answer them better that way.
What does it mean when you see pores and fog after you cut and color? I sanded my battery cover from my dump truck with 400 then I cut and colored it with your brown and orange and green and yellow kit and my end result was fog and a lot of pores. The cut and color processes did achieve a mirror reflection though I'm just trying to figure out if I should have sanded with a 200 or 120 and worked my way up to 400? The pores were kind of deep as well. And I cut it about 5 times and polished 2
The smoother it is the clearer it is.
Iam from brasil nice videos
Thank you. Truly appreciate you watching.
A drill with a cone attachment would help in the tight spots I would imagine
sometimes yes sometimes no
I need to step up my game from my cordless drill and mothers cones. Is there a variable speed Grinder you would recommend that would do both the cutting and coloring?
Yes I have links posted in my description on this video. I recommend the makita or the dewalt variable speed. Depends which brand you prefer.
cool!!!
I know right. Thanks for watching.

How often do you have to change the respirator filters? Nice job!!
I changed my filters once a year and the prefilters a few times a year.
