Mad4Motors so will this work for a Honda Accord 2019 with alloy wheels. They look a little bit darker than your wheels so I’m not sure

Great job!!! Very impressive!! I sure was wasting my time all these years by masking off the sidewalls!!! The playing cards was a fantastic idea!!! Love it!!👍😎
you should include diamond cut wheels in title for even MORE views. You did a good job
Got myself these wheels and thought someone must know how to fix them at home... what a man you are.
That playing card trick is brilliant! Brilliant!!!
Superb video as I’ve never seen any wheel refurb company in Ireland get them back to factory even when they charge €150 a wheel. Hence I was able to preserve the spoke on 20 inch 759i Bmw G30 wheel and just use your technique on the section that was damaged. I ended up using 3000 wet sanding and the finish was almost too polished like an E46 M3 19 inch diamond cut from factory. Thanks so much for this. Best solution out there
OMG thank you. I have those exact wheels and they were recently curbed. Thank you so much!
love the friendly way that people try to help each other
Hi mate just wanted to say I followed your tutorial. I have a bmw 1 series with the polished shiny lips. They are the optional 18" Alloys in polished silver and black. I managed to kerb one alloy few weeks ago. Well my repair came out superb. You can't even notice where it was now. I used scholl s20 black Polish after 2000 grit wet sanding. Many thanks 👌👌👌👌
Have to say I watched this video 5 times and gave my 20" audi diamond cut a go they turned ou unbelievable as I was quoted €150 a wheel so saved meself 550euro all the equipment only cost me €50 this chap is a genius thanks very much for the video if I could only put up a big before and after 👌👌
daniel ryan all you did was bodge your wheel. Let's see how long your repairs last
If you want a cheap job then follow this. The reason you spend a lot with a professional is 1) the entire wheel back & front will be sand blasted, 2) all blemishes removed, 3) filled as required, 4) powder coated several times & baked hard, 5) several coats of heavy duty lacquer.
You always get what you pay for.
Wow! Cracking results for just a few quid. My wheel are exactly the same as these on my S3 and they look like trash. I was thinking about sending them off to have them done at a cost of almost £500 for the 4 alloys. Seeing this I am not going to bother and will have a go at home.. Great work. Subscribed and notifications on!
Love the playing card trick, much easier than masking tape !
Absolute amazing! Exactly the video I needed for the same wheels.
Excellent job my friend. Concise and to the point. Good techniques and process. I’ve been doing car detailing for many years and this is on target! A true royal flush! Well done!
Great job! Thanks for sharing - seems extreme until you see it done and the results. WOnderful to see a job done properly!
Just done mine...same type of wheel too! Many thanks for your tutorial...wheel finish looks factory now.
Such great tutorials. Thanks so much you've saved me hours and hours of frustration.
This his an outstanding video and result, gonna try on my Mercedes, diamond cut are the worst, won’t be buying a car with them again!
Amazing! I’m going to get my diamond cut wheels sorted next week!
Just love to watch these videos about how easy it is to smooth over the curb scrapes
Sick! I just canceled my appointment with wheel guys. You just saved me $250, haha. Best repair video I’ve seen. Thanks!
Thats good man thanks!

I'm sure you didn't have any where near the same result. It also sounds like your wheel guys are ripping you off.
How did that work out for you?
Same
good technique and lots of patience on display here. probably looking at 3 or 4 hrs work depending on depth of abrasions. I’ve done a few wheels as illustrated when turn around time was critical or replacement wheel wasn’t an option but at my $75/hr shop rate I check the aftermarket for refinished wheels before doing it in-house.
I've been repairing wheels for ages but this was an eye opener. Quick clean and easy I'm going to knick some of your ideas chers
Knick away!
thanks so much for showing us how to do this DIY i for one really appreciate your videos. saved me a few quid and great results at home ta much.
Albert Einstein Knew that the letter I on its own is I not i
Omg these are legit my actual rims!! Yes!!! Thanks for this tutorial!
Glad I could help
Great video. Clear breakdown of how to repair & what to use. Nice job..!!!
This guy is awesome, thank you for sharing this, I’m going to have to do this to my Audi A5 alloy wheel that has some curb rash.
Hope it come out as good as this.
Thanks Again
Stuart Williams need to do it to my s5 but some of them are quite deep might need powder coating instead..
Nice! Great tutorial and appreciate the tips. Especially like the playing card usage!
Excellent video! Gives me the confidence to try myself. Wheel looks new
Love that Irish Accent Man.... Could listen to this dude all day !!
Brilliant job very well done I'll be doing mine on my bmw in the next few weeks thanks for the tips infact top tips
👍👌
I never thought about using cards like that thanks man
Best looking wheels ever made!
Great video. You're right there is not many videos on diamond cut alloys. Thanks ;-)
I love your Irish accent and I love Irish people... nicely people my friend excellent demonstration
You made this job look so easy! I really love the idea of using a deck of cards to mask the tires for the clear coat application. Well done! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!
Brilliant video, and the use of a pack of cards was a master stroke !! well done.
hey thanks
Looking for a video to do my rims because I just scrapped a curb. Luckily you have a video with my exact rims!! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing,
You have saved me from waisting $600 dollars to repair my wheels.
Brilliant video and fantastic work. Loved the finish
What a channel!!!! I've been sat all morning watching your vids 😂❤
looks good, worth baring in mind as I have been window shopping for an audi a3 preferably with the same rotor wheels fitted and have yet to see one with an unmarked set and these wheels dont look as good when powder coated a single colour. It helps on these particular wheels that the machine polished parts sit out prominent from the painted parts so as to avoid damaging the painted bits.
nicely done. LOVE the deck of cards idea. ALso hotel room keys also work. If you travel alot start collecting them. They also make great shims !!!
Outstanding result!
Madness!
Always keep the face cards and aces as 'spares' for your next poker game.
Your sleeve or back pocket are ideal storage places...
Good video, great results.
Excellent job. Great video. Thanks
great job, you make it look so easy, thanks
Amazingly done!
Got the same rims, will do this. Thanks for the great advice!
Wow what a result. Keep on doing such videos👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Nice, quick fix..
Also like the card trick !
People trying to chime in by adding their own backhand compliments and slidding them criticism in, we see you, you ain't slick.
This dude did a good job and you know what? it didn't require painting, just sprayed clear to protect and that's it!
That’s all well and good. I suppose I’ll be one of them and add a comment that you might find slighted and back handed, but will only help other people trying this... He never cleaned the surface before painting. Not to mention, just before the scuffing, he used a polishing compound. That stuff sticks around a long while, and paint isn’t going to adhere well to it. Acetone, mineral spirits, even rubbing alcohol. Just oils from your hands alone can contaminate a paint job. Have to clean it before applying paint. Looks decent now, but unfortunately, his clear is going to be chipping and peeling in no time at all. Maybe he did but didn’t show it, or said he did, and I didn’t catch it...
CatacombKidd I’m going to attempt this. Not sure about the clear coat though. Is it absolutely necessary to use it? As there are quite a few diamond cut touch up videos on RUclips which don’t use clear coat... thanks
Nice job! Thanks for sharing!
Really brilliant video! Great result as well
This a great video. Thank you!
Great job I need to do this for my Jetta GLI I scuffed up all my Autobahn rims
Best card trick! I'm stealing it to, cheers
Awesome videos on DIY. Need to remove some scuffs on my wheels.
Really handy video, thanks for showing
Great job they look really good !
Nice. Thanks for uploading!
Excellent video. Showing how it is done, without any dead-time. I learnt how to do it.
Thanks!
Yup, this is a keeper for sure. Thanx!
Did a really bad one with this by HAND, turned out great ( stopped at the rubber coat). Certainly going power on my next wheel
What an excellent job
fair play no messing great job.
Nice job mate...Good video, Nice idea about the playing cards....
Great video. Very useful information.
This is a superb demo, articulate and clear without any stupid music or the history of how the wheel got scuffed!!!!!! Just two things please, can i not just use my DA sander instead of a drill? and I struggle to find such high grit discs, they all tend to only go up to 240. I currently have a 2010 Golf match where the diamond faces have tarnished and also a 2012 Nissan Quashqai, again with corroded faces. Thanks very much, really is one of the best videos I have seen
Love the use of cards...Ive never thought of doing that and I'll be using the cards from now on..Great vid
Yeah it's a neat trick!
Amazing job mate!
I am in awe!

Great job
