I used a corded drill and white diamond metal polish auto zone with polish cone and ball works like magic
BRO!! Great video! Great results! Will be trying this on my Harley soon!👍
Thanks for the tips awesome video I'll be polishing my primary cover when When I take it off to reseal it.
Coke contains phosphoric acid and does exactly the same job at getting rid of the pitting 👍 I used it on my wheels the other day 😎
Absolutely man Coca-Cola is some strong stuff LOL I’m surprised you’re allowed to drink it
This makes me re think my choice of drinking soda 😂
They also let you drink alcohol and smoke sigarettes , doesn’t mean it is good.
Great video but for your personal bike when was the last time you rode it? From all the rust and cob webs on the rotors id say its been a minute.
This was a great video, a lot of awesome tips and the final product looks great.... However, looking over the motorcycle during the video, the amount of spider webs and other gunk on there, maybe a quick wash is needed on this bike too
I like matt finish aluminium it looks amazing. I prefer it to chrome to be honest.
Great job man love it !!!
looks great man🤘😎
Eagle one MAG cleaner is the best. In my opinion
how did you get around the rotors?
Is that a Honda Valkyrie wheel? Sure looks like one. Great video, I'm in!
Goldwing my man
Will sand blasting work ?
Why not steel wool?
Thank, you for you're video
What did you use to deactivate the acid
He used APC (All Purpose Cleaner). Remember it turning milky white after APC applied?
Thank you for the video, man
Sure thing!
using the steel wool can be risky, unless you get every single fiber of that wool off, your going to have rust embedding itself in the alum , I rec stainless steel wool
Oven cleaner works great
what is the product ?
That’s cool
What Milwaukee polisher is that
I remember buying the rust jelly for five bucks
So since we can't get the jelly, what's other alternatives? Apart from coke
How do you do it so we’ll tho
once you remove the aluminum coating off the wheel you'll forever be polishing your wheel removing corrosion...
It's not the way you think. Aluminum has the characteristics of building up a new layer of protection once the outer layer has been broken. So, once you have restored the wheels, they are sort of brand new. Now you have to protect it with wax or WD40, avoid too much contact with water and minerals, in other words,, avoid corrosion, as you should have done in the first place.
Yea.....maybe once a year. I've removed the clear on multiple oxidized aluminum wheels and polished them out. Plus they look better than factory if you know what your doing
❤❤❤
Poor man's option is hand-sanding with 80 grit sandpaper (use a mask, dont need that stuff in your lungs) then work your way finer 120, 180, 240, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, then hit it with Autosol or like you said, any polish will do.
When you're finished, get clean rags and hit it again. Then hit it again and buff it real clean.
I haven't tried the WD40 or CRC as a coating but after reading the comments here I'll try it. This method costs porridge money, but uses a lot more elbow grease. I've just done one side of one wheel and my thumbs are knackered.
Starting with 80 grit is completely unecessary and will just introduce scratches that you'll have a hard time getting rid of. Start with 600 grit. Maybe 240 if the wheel is in a really bad state.
@@AhilMohanyeah maybe 80 is a bit keen but I needed to cut through an overcoat to reach the alloy and was prepared to work it right again after.
My question is why would ya let the wheels get that bad, when the rest of the bike looks pretty clean. It’s all about the continued maintenance of a bike. Sad to see this, shouldn’t have happen. Even the brake rotor looks rusty with cobwebs. Do you even ride the bike? Looks like a garage queen Harley. Are your tires weathered also?
It's a Goldwing....they ain't no HD rims. Do you even ride / know bikes? Are you just fishin' fer a bite from the OP?
I bought my bike when it was already 30 years old. That's how you let the wheels get that bad. Some bikes have really long lives and many owners. I'm looking at you Honda!
