Great job.

[@DavidMcBay]

Thank you

[@tonyinit8488]

Good job 👏 thinkin of having a go so im in the investigating stage now 👍

[@DavidMcBay]

Thanks mate, have a look at a channel called @cvr.pov there is some great tutorials on there

[@SteveLBMK]

Fair play, David, well done for tackling jobs that many of us would be too faint hearted to tackle. I've watched CRV's videos and he is an absolute magician!

[@DavidMcBay]

Thanks mate, he has give me so much help and advice over the past year. Really nice guy and his channel is great

[@jamescurley5062]

Savage David fair play to you on the job done on the alloys also fair play to you doing it in shorts n t-shirt in Scottish winter 😂

[@DavidMcBay]

Thanks mate, I had actually recorded these videos a while ago so thankfully it wasn’t so cold when I was getting them done

[@GMDetails]

Fantastic video showing how it can be done at home. I’d be so scared to tackle it but would love a go on some scrap wheels to see what could be done

[@DavidMcBay]

That’s essentially what these are mate, they did turn out really nice tho so I would give it a bash again in the future. Its just an option that can save people a fortune when it comes time to had back a car if the dreaded corrosion has set in

[@grahambell9831]

Nice one David....a very good DIYer improvement to the alloy wheel 👏👏

[@DavidMcBay]

[@henleyhiggins3075]

[@DavidMcBay]

Thank you 🙌

This was proper interesting, David, a great bit of content. My diamonds are a mess and need a refurb, unfortunately there are some pretty deep sratches, so I'm not sure i could do this, not wothoit some kind of filler. The cost of doing a diamond cut wheel down here isnt far short of new wheel money, that could also be an option.... when I'm rich 😅😂

[@DavidMcBay]

Thanks Lee, you would be surprised at what you can sand out of alloys mate, these were a disaster and turned out amazing. It’s the same up here, your north of £200 a wheel in some places which I just couldn’t justify paying on car that only cost that much lol

[@80skidYT]

Great video, a question if I may, did putting the clear coat on change the colour of the polished face? Only reason I ask is I've got wheels thar normally are machine cut and cleared but I cant see any tooling marks and looks more like light silver than say polished or machined finish.

[@DavidMcBay]

Thank you, I think it more depends on the level of sanding that you want to goto. I wanted that more refined look but I think if I had stopped at 500 grit, the machined look would have been more obvious. I wouldn’t say the clear made any difference to the finish tho.

[@barryjones6214]

Look good pal do you have a link to the kit at all

[@DavidMcBay]

Thanks mate, here’s the link to the kit www.paintgear.co.uk/products/paint-gear-77mm-sanding-kit-x4-wheel-repair-drill-adaptor-backing-pad

[@johnbrown3951]

Not for me mate way above my pay scale and if it is like machine polishing you can ask Michael how long I stuck out trying to master that skill even though I really wanted to learn. I would just pay a guy I'm afraid. The wheels came up really good I am a fan of silver alloys from a guy that has Diamond cut on both cars and yes after selling my Mini to finance the i-Pace I relented and bought another car which has since been replaced after a year of ownership as I needed well wanted a tow bar for my tow bar mounted bike carrier to transport my electric bike to allow me to venture further than round about here.

[@DavidMcBay]

You go through more cars than a dealership John 🤣🤣. I do like diamond cut wheels, they can just start to corrode so easily if they aren’t taken care of

[@cartern4681]

Could I apply aircraft remover to make the clear coat come off easier before sanding?

[@DavidMcBay]

I’ve never used a product like that so really have no idea how it works

[@johnboywalton8138]

diamond cut is definitely not polished.

[@DavidMcBay]

No it is not, its just an option that some people may want to consider

[@DryUrEyesMate]

It’s personal preference when doing a custom job.

[@furiouzzzz]

great job on that mate

[@DavidMcBay]

Thanks mate
