@deanstoops26 Год назад

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.

@pjtruesdale16 5 лет назад

Instead of the spray wax, you should try zephyrs pro 40 liquid compound. Works As a good final finish wipe and sealant!

@AwesomeFinish 4 года назад

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.

@AndysAutoCarePlus 4 года назад

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.

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.

@Sinerwray 2 года назад

Remember it's a chemical reaction so you don't have to push hard like sanding :)

@thelifeofjessejames 3 года назад

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?

@snail415 3 года назад

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.

@elliesimmons3933 4 года назад

For wheels that aren’t in rough shape, those drill pads don’t cut heavy oxidation. Most bigger trucks need more than this.

@AndysAutoCarePlus 4 года назад

True this was really focused for giving them that extra pop!

@markstewart7144 2 года назад

I’ll like to know what to use then to make them work

@elliesimmons3933 2 года назад

@@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.

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

@AndysAutoCarePlus 3 года назад

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
