I go over how I polish rims and what products are my "go to's".
I know there is so many different ways and products to choose from, but with that said this is just the way I found to be the easiest with great results!
The spay wax application is not needed also.
Thanks for the support!

Appreciate it and thanks for watching. Did you subscribe?
I'm Japanese. Hello.I'm commenting using the English interpreter tool.Nice to meet you. I registered for a channel.It's so pretty!
Awesome!
An honest tutorial and not even trying to sell anything. Great video!
Thank you 🙏
Sinisters Devil's Brew is the best I've ever seen in my 40+ years of polishing. Never will spend my money on anything else....
K well where can you get it?
Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀
X2 on Flitz! I sometimes apply a little baking flour to the wheel after polishing and wipeing down. Wipe the wheel with a soft rag to make sure the flour comes in contact with the whole surface. It will soak up the black polishing residue from small crevises and brighten the wheel up.
We bought the tools and Flitz and followed your video and it worked like magic on our Motorhome wheels. Thanks!!
That’s amazing to hear thank you so much for the feedback!
Instead of the spray wax, you should try zephyrs pro 40 liquid compound. Works As a good final finish wipe and sealant!
Nice! Great tip. Thanks.
No problem
I use the seme stuff works good
That orange buffer looks like a high speed wheel for use with a die grinder. That drill probably isn't spinning it fast enough to be effective. It's a heavy cut pad, so you'd start with that first to get the surface contaminants and stains off, then go to your red foam applicators to finish your color.
I love simple instructive videos without the drama and BS
Lol good to know
@@AndysAutoCarePlus That was supposed to be a compliment. Good video.
Lol I must have read it wrong. Thank you.
Did a good job but since you're making money I'd definitely look into using airway buffs and buffing compounds. You can do an entire wheel in 10 minutes. Also, your method looks more like a maintenance method.. meaning the wheels were already polished and in decent shape.
Yes the wheels were in decent shape this wasnt for crazy bad wheels that wasn’t the purpose of this video. But these were acid washed before hand as it was on a dump truck and that’s the way they clean it.
Just picked up a set of used Weld wheels for cheap and I'm gonna use an old power ball I got laying around to restore them.
I wasn't expecting this! Looks fairly easy but the results are great on a working truck!
Been wanting to do this on my Pete at work, I was hoping I wasn't gonna need rouge blocks. Thanks!!!
Blue Magic is my favorite Chrome Polishing Compound it's creamy and easy-to-use and leaves a blue luster on the Chrome or aluminum Blue Magic cream polish
very nice! i was a truck driver, and use to do that by hand on my down time loll!
I have done that also takes forever lol.
I'm a truck driver and still do it by hand on my down time 🤣 definitely going to be bringing my drill with me
Shit i just did my wheels by hand and tool boxs on flatbed,i wish i had that drill lol. Looks good man 👍
For many years I did mine by hand also. I’ve been using Mother’s (company name) with the three applicators that come in a kit, about $100.00. It’s worth it. I can do a wheel in about 10min. Great job Andy.
Remember it's a chemical reaction so you don't have to push hard like sanding :)
Can you elaborate on this please?
Dawn dish washing detergent will clean those buffers out like new
That’s what I use.
I'm trying to learn how to polish so great video man!
Now to polish, i use MOTHERS. The best is JEWELRY RUDE for a highly shine like chrome ! Any truck stop carries it ~ Your recaps are coming apart
Andy great content and information on Wheel polishing. One of the best on RUclips. I own a Semi Truck Thanks bro
I appreciate the kind words sir!
Thank you for explaining and not talking too much
Your welcome I try.
Thank you for being blunt and forward with is Video!💯Good Job and Thank you for the tips!
Your welcome thanks for watching hope it helps.
Great job sir, you make it look so simple. Thanks for keeping your video to the point.
Thank you!
I’m going to do this to my truck rims, the next time I do my 34hr reset.
Sweet!
PAUSED JUST TO THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICES BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO
THANKS A LOT MAN REALLY HELPED MY ROOMMATE ISN'T GOING IT RIGHT LIKE HE POLISHING A ALUMINUM BIKE FRAME
What’s The best Drill setting to use for these buffers ?and what’s the best way to clean them ?
Next time give the FLITZ Buff Ball a shot. You can run them faster then the Mothers Ball & no worries about tearing them up around the lugs or valve stem.
Yes, you are correct I actually have one
Great video, no BS no intro crap!
Good job polishing a clean wheel
Thanks lol
What about rims that need to be sanded? Does that work on them without sanding?
Great video. Looks like tire is ready to throw the recap tho.
Thank you for making this video good job brother..👍🇺🇸
Great no nonsense video 👍
Thanks man. I try and do my videos that way. Thanks for watching.
my wheels are HEAVILY corroded. will this system still work?
I Bet you dont miss Polishing 🌟
For wheels that aren’t in rough shape, those drill pads don’t cut heavy oxidation. Most bigger trucks need more than this.
True this was really focused for giving them that extra pop!
I’ll like to know what to use then to make them work
@@markstewart7144 if your aluminum is in rough shape, it will to be cut with several different metal polish pads , using different stages of metal polishing rouge. Real rough wheels need sanding. If your wheels are only lightly oxidized, this method will work.
Can you give me the name of the product that you use the detailer can’t find it
Thanks
It’s called zep polish
Thank you so much for sharing you experience.
Great video! Thanks! How do you polish in between nuts better?
What should it cost me to have 10 big rig wheels? Rough estimate
Great job
Thks
I’m not sure as I don’t do big rig wheels anymore.
@@AndysAutoCarePlus gotcha thks
So you said that was a garbage truck? So I'm assuming it's a Freightliner?? 😅😅😅😅
How to smooth out scratches on car wheels
Renegade metal polish is quicker. Also build the air up and jack it up. Release breaks and wheel spins. Much easier
I've got a fleet of rigs with Alcoa wheels and I clean them every Saturday. I've started to polish with just Liquid Aluminum polish and a Power Cone plus micro fibers. I didn't think to wax them so I'll have to get some. That makes sense and will hopefully make them need to be polished less often right?
Look for Finish Kare 1000P sealant. Very affordable and one tin will cover your fleet many times over.
Goes on like a wax. Spreads like hard cheese, and then loosens up like grease. Buff off after a few minutes, and don’t apply in direct sunlight.
The reason I recommend this product is because it is resistant to 250*F. Wheels get hot. And this sealant absolutely repels water and other debris.
Man those wheels looked good from the start guess imma polish mine see if they shine more
Good video thanks
So did you have to do anything special other than washing them?
With these ones in particular I just did a basic wash with a wheel cleaner as prep.
Thanks a heap for the video. 👍🏻 Never used Flitz before. I would love to get your input as to how it would compare against Simichrome Polish. Thanks again! 😉👍🏻
I actually haven’t use that other stuff I absolutely love my flitz polish
How do you clean the powerball after you are finished with it? Can it be reused for another polishing session, say a year later?
I still use this same one. Soap and warm water will clean it or APC.
Can somebody explain me how to clean my chrome wheels and what should I buy to do it????
This process works great on chrome wheels. Here is some items to use:
Mothers Powerball lg amzn.to/2PG6O5i
Mothers Powercone amzn.to/2VI4DDN
Mothers Powerball mini amzn.to/2PG7N5u
Flitz Metal Polish 2 lb amzn.to/2DLRH5D
Flitz 1.6 oz amzn.to/2Y3AKvf
How do you prevent the black sticky thing that sometimes i get . I put the solution and after a couple of seconds it turn black and stickit to the rim really bad
That’s normal when you polish aluminum.
Tanks a lot for sharing to your experience.You have a really great man.
Would an application of wax be useful after polishing?
Awesome video thanks man!
I don't waste my time with polishing as I find buffing brings out a better shine.
Awesome polishing a clean rim
yea I think it was fine if you run nice stuff but a nasty pitted rim that Mothers Ball isn't gonna do shit
Very helpful video. thanks!
How would you charge for something like this?
How do you do around the lug nuts? Wears my fingers out! Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks bro awesome job.
Just a question about foam ball.
When you polish truck rims near the valve and wheel nuts does it damage the foam ball by ripping etc
It will a little so just use caution and good judgment. I tend to slow down around the hard areas.
Use your fingers....
Interesting method
I have Weld Racing Rock Smashers wheels on my Suburban, what polishing drill bit should be my first buy that can do a decent job on the entire wheel? I’m thinking the mother’s cone, what do you think.
That’s a great place to start check out the description it has links to some of the products I used in this video
Bro I'm doing an aluminum horse trailer. I want to prewash with Mcguire's wheel brightener. What dillution do you recommend?
Got a vid for restoring brushed aluminum?
Sadly no I don’t
What drill are you using?please put a link
Eso es amar su makina , su herrmienta de trabajo
All well and good friend... Any reason you didn't use eye protection... just askin
Didn’t think of it at the time.
Whats the average cost to polish a rim ?
Thanks for the break down! 😎👍
your welcome
Ima buy these polished aluminum wheels for my truck I was wondering just week to week to clean em is it okay to just use ‘wheel cleaner’ and just clean em with a microfiber towel or do i gotta get the rotary out and poilish em everytime they get dirty? Cus I polish my truck every 3 months and just give it a regular car wash every week. Thx
If you’re going to be using a wheel cleaner on them just make sure it’s acid free because the acid will deteriorate them a lot faster I would suggest using a product like brake buster you can use that for the tires and the wheels. Brake Buster 1 Gallon amzn.to/2IoOnPc
I us a polish called autosol but is flitz better?
I haven’t tried that so I’m not sure.
Where did you get the polish and buffing pads
I have links in the description.
Please let me know everything I have to buy or where can I find everything you got at a local store plz !!??
Links are all in the description
Thank you so much man, very helpful
Will this work on polished aluminum wheels
That wheel was already like polished...Bro you should look at mine. Nothing like that will work on them.
how much should i charge for polishing wheels?
Can this method be done on the fuel tank ?
I’m sure it can.
Thank you
how do you clean these tools?
How come you don’t use flitz pads?
I have used those they seem to be a little bit more aggressive
How much do you charge to polish each wheel Sr?

What’s the electric tool you use?

How can I show u my polish I do tankers and trucks rims
What type of drill are u using. Can u place a link for it.
Ryobe Drill amzn.to/2Od59Fq
What kind of rpms?
Would this remove light scratches? Or anything you recommend
It might I haven't used on heavy damage before.
Thank you. Subscribed
Appreciate that 🙏🙏
I need a drill gun like that what’s the name of it
Sha Money looks like a dewault
Ryobi
What drill info are you using?
It’s a ryoby from Home Depot
where did you buy that drill gun
This one was just a basic one from homedepot. I now use a flex
What material do I use and where do I buy it😊
Check out the link in the description
So say you get an ate up wheel with lots of pits and stuff can you cut with the drill?
This would be for a less aggressive approach on wheels in fairly good shape. Heavily pitted wheels will take a much more aggressive approach.
Nice bro 👍🏼
Thanks man.
Where do I get those polishing wheels
Check out the links in the description
Do you use wheel/rim rinse cleaner before you start bc mine is really dull and needs to be cleaned?
I just use a good wheel cleaner then go for it.
@@AndysAutoCarePlus what's a good wheel cleaner? The only wheel cleaners I know of are the brand names like McGuire's?
How do u clean the pads
All purpose cleaner and warm water.
