Great video! For really heavily rusted steel rims (say you live in New England) that have been neglected for years, I find it much more efficient to start with a screw driver/chisel/nail puller of a hammer to knock loose and scrape off large chunks of road grime, rust, and chipping old paint. This does the most (if not all) of your prep work. Then follow with a hand steel wire brush, and then coarse sand papers (80 grit). Leave rotary wire brush to the end because it can’t do much in heavy lifting.
Thanks! Amazing thanks for the tips! I'll definitely give that a try if I do it again in the future. Guessing you've done a few sets?
So grateful you've put this video up for those that have no idea like me and want to do the same 👌 helps heaps to have a caddy specific video to follow and then end result looks great!
No worries, I'm glad it's helped! And thanks for commenting as well! 😁
Great job man, stainless Steel bolts would look wicked dude!
Thanks! Oh yeah they definitely would, thanks for the idea!
Fair play mate, these look amazing! I feel your pain as I am working on my van wheels at the moment too! Great video and I’m pleased your van is sorted and looks great man 👌👍
Thanks! How did you get on with yours? Mine need a bit of TLC now.
Looks amazing, we’ll done 👍
Thanks! Came out looking nice
Nice vid as usual man, felt sick for you with the axle stands... Glad it ended up looking as good as it did. 👍
Thanks! Yh was horrid haha
Wheels look good. I'm going to spray mine on the weekend
Thanks! What colour are you doing?
Nice mate, I've recently been looking at buying set of alloys for mine but this looks a decent alternative 🍻
Yeah deffo a lot cheaper!
They look awesome! Do you recommend spraying the internal also? I'm thinking this would add further protection but no idea if it'd be worth it.
Thanks! Yeah I'd definitely say to do the inside, I wish I'd used some hammerite on them as well as a primer too.
Wheels are looking spiffy man!
Thanks!
Good tutorial. The stands look like car ones not heavy duty ones. Lucky you aren't under it!
Yeah I agree, I was told by Halfords that they we're good enough to hold my van. Wouldn't trust them again...
@@willsvanadventures glad you weren't injured. I generally use machine mart for tools - smaller business and generally good value too.
@@jrewillis yh same haha ok ideal thanks, I'll check them out when I next need something!
Hi Will, I’m looking to do the same for my four wheels too. How many cans do you think I’d be needing?
Awesome! I reckon about 3/4 cans of each. You can always return the ones you don't use .
Did you do the centre caps the exact same way??
Yeah 🙂
What happened with the axle stand?! Did it just slip out of place or something? Or did the stand actually suffer some type or material or manufacturing failure (metal bent/broke or one of the welds broke??) these look like the same halfords stands i use to do work under my van. After seeing this im now wondering how safe they are
Yh so the stand bent on one of the legs. So it actually failed. When I took it back for a refund. One of the staff told me that they aren't that good.... So pretty dangerous. But I would say if you're working under your van to get a ramp or something. Should never work under using axle stands.
Looks like you had the 2tonne stands. Not sure what the weight of the maxi is but i went for the 3tonne stands with my swb just incase. But still good to know how yours failed.
Cheers
@@rob6rr yh they were the 2tonne. I agree with you that they are probably to light so I was given the wrong advice when buying them in Halfords. And then went I complained. They just said you shouldn't of bought them.....
Anyone know why on eBay, loads of wheel trims for a Caddy state they won't fit a Caddy Maxi 🤷. Same dia wheel, same tyre size etc but why won't they fit? Confused.
Buy wheel trim do you mean the plastic cover that sits over the wheel and clips on? Or a wheel arch kit?
Yeah the complete trim that fits in the steel wheel rim.
@@x4dd I'm not sure but any trim that's the correct size should fit i imagine. Most steels at 16"
And wearing flip flops, fsk mate are you crazy!?!?
Ahhaa
