THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I absolutely despise long drawn out DIY videos. I don't need to know how the weather is where you are, or for you to repeat yourself 6x about the same thing. I wish everyone did videos like this. No talking, just 1 sec per step... I can figure the rest out. Thank you sir!!
Love a full video on this
Very nice I’ll also third this suggestion for a full video
Well it’s done now so unless I scuff another one on purpose lol.
@@CarCleaningGuru do it for us 🤭
@@CarCleaningGuru just take some wheels off a car at a store car park. You'll find some scuffed ones eventually!
@@CarCleaningGuru You can demo my accord rims lmao
@@xxsam0917xxwerent his Prelude wheels?
Love everything about the video the lovely jazz music the patiance with the work and the outcome
Yes would love to see the full video of this, which wet n dry grit to use etc.👍👍
Yes
What grit(s) sand paper did you use bro?
Awesome, but it would help the rest of the world if you would tell us what materials you used.
100 grit, 800 grit, 1600 grit wet sand, polish wheel with polish compound.
Fookin bloody roight m8
Can you share where you got such evenly depth curb rash lol? Curb rash i have had and seen is always deeper in spots and not even ;)
Video is so simple and straight to the point love it! ❤
Wow! I’ll be looking for a full video soon! Thanks!
Excellent, full video maybe?
First time I’ve ever attempted it so maybe next time!
@@CarCleaningGuru Ahh ok nice one! Turned out great, well done!
Amazing work 💯
What products did you use?
Its a secret apparently
Wow! Looks like new!
Nice vid guru
Amazing! What was used for this process!?
What grit of sandpaper was used?
What polisher is that ?
What product did you use for the buffing?
Turtle Wax One & Done Compound.
Love all your videos man
Brilliant video diy is always good
You done a nice Job on the wheel. I Had to do this by hand on all fours wheels due to scuff marks. Not diamond cut though. 👍🏻
What polisher is that your using ??
What grit of sand paper was used?
I got it.. great vid!!!!
What machine polisher is this? 😊
What tools did you use
nice job man 👌👌
What mini polisher are you using there buddy?
Great job.
Good job..I scratched my wheels on my 2017 corolla..and I was worried chrome can't b fixed at all..
I need this kit
Name a list of all the items that you use
Hello, good video, can you tell me what material you use because my car rims are scratched
Only aluminum rims can’t do that on chromed rims cus if u sand too much it will rub through and chrome will be gone ..well u can it depends how deep the scratches are.
What grit sand paper?
Can I ask what sanding paper u used at the very beginning? Also that hand held machine thing you used after ? Or is it a bufffer ? Could you possibley explain and tell me what it is I will need to get the scuffs out of my alloy wheels as they don’t look great?what I need to buy I mean? Preferably something that I can afford as I don’t have lots of £££££s and want to get what I need bit buy bit . Thanks.
What kind of polish gun is that? And pad? Plz lmk
What grit Sandpaper?
Che carte abrasive hai usato poi indicare tutti i passaggi?
Name of rubbing machine??
Did you not need any paint?
Smoothing it out and polishing is the easy part. But how can you get the machined lines put back on the rim?
You can’t really. A scotch pad might give the effect somewhat.
Ojo todo es cuestión de tener paciencia 👍
Think I would have used a Dremmel?
I can donate my wheels if you need to do another video.there beyond saving though I think not even the refurb place will touch them 😂
What about the lines that’s in the top layer of the rim I always wonder about that and I really wanna repaint my rims exactly Factory silver Aluminum alloy
Machined face, do not do this if you want to keep that. Only option is to have them refurbished
Where are you located 😊
Vídeo muito bom
What supplies did you use? Thanks
Should be some details in the description.
Given the wheel is painted I am genuinely perplexed as to how you did this without repainting
The silver diamond cut bits are just clear lacquered metal so if you can keep the repair to that area won’t need paint, just a bit of protection/bit of a polish every now and then.
Would you not need to re-laquer to protect the now bare alloy? Ceramic coating isn’t going to be enough is it? If you have status of how they are holding up after 6-12 months in the area you repairs that would be very useful to see!
What if my wheel has texture😢
why’d you blue you’re son in the first part but not while he was in the SUV? or was that a mistake ?
Link for this kit/product? 💯
Should be rough details in the description.
@@CarCleaningGuru Ok thank you
You did this the hardest possible way lmao
i wish you had a mobile business near me.
Nice, but what if they are clear coated?
Protect them with something afterwards. I used a ceramic coating here but anything you can use on paintwork you can keep the metal topped up with.
Wow, because I've never seen them rims before...
what is the last thing you apply on the wheel? kinda coat?
Ceramic coating, metal sealant or even wax will do the job so long as you reapply it every few months.
Grit sand paper?
Satisfying
what grit sand paper did you use?
Very coarse to start (the paper was so old it didn’t have a grade lol) and finished with 1500 before polishing which seemed to work well.
@@CarCleaningGuru LOL okay thank you
No clear coat?
Ceramic coating and just keep it clean.
Did you have to take the clearcoat off?
Yes hence needing to keep the area topped up with some form of protection thereafter but the scuff had chewed through it already.
How has it been? Any corrosion?
Dulled a tiny bit over winter with the road salt but came up fine again with a quick hand polish.
What size sand paper???
Cant' remember, just what I had lying around at the time but a general multipack of various grades should generally suffice.
Sanded the whole of the face of the wheel not just the curb
Helo ano po product pls ang ano ko ng liha pls??
What is the polisher you are using?
Autobrite Direct MP-9 although I think they’ve just released a new version.
@@CarCleaningGuru thank you. Need to do some work on my alloys and don’t fancy it all by hand
What grit sandpaper?
Can’t remember, whatever I had to hand!
What product did you use for the bando filler?
thanks what products did you use?
Should all be linked in the description!
@@CarCleaningGuruit says diy wheel scuff. That is nothing
Nice
Serves you right for not paying enough to buy the correct width tires.
No serves me right for swerving a big pothole and prioritising my cheap plastic splitter over a new diamond cut wheel (with the correct tyres to prevent arch scrub).
@@CarCleaningGuru - if you are stretching tires to clear your fender arches, then the rims have the wrong offset. Anyway, you know what I mean... if the rim sticks out farther than the sidewall of the tire, there is nothing to protect it from curb rash.
@@johncoops6897 I know and it’s a price I’m willing to pay to have the wheels and offset I want 🤷♂️.
Except my rims are black. But looks good
Show me up close picture you definitely removed the grain it had with the clear coat
The cut finish is now flat and the shine will stand out at certain angles yes but it still looks way better than a big scuff.
Looks like it was a brushed finish at first now it’s grossly.
Yes this is the problem with diamond cut wheels but still looks a lot better than a scuff.

Don't you need a clear coat over that?
Is it worth polishing all 4 rims? 🤔
Only if they’re all scuffed up.
Hondas have. Diamond cut rims you just can’t just sand them without ruining the diamond cut milled Lines
Was already ruined by the scuff.
Shouldn't you clear coat it?
Doing this for mustang wheels tmr
🤞
But the brushed finish is off now because it's polished?
Yes but better than a scuff if you don’t want/can’t a afford a full re-cut.
В любом случае будет отличаться от заводской проточки , но уж лучше так .
This wouldn't work with diamond cut?
These are diamond cut, you’re left with a flat polished finish which does contrast with the factory cut and lacquered finish a bit but still better than an unsightly scuff.
Yeh the final sanding marks were an option but decided to polish and blend, doesn’t look too bad overall.
@@CarCleaningGuru ahh i thought they looked like diamond cuts. So does the polishing process stop them from corroding in the future? Or do they really need to be lacquered/sealed like they would be out of the factory. I ask as i have a bunch of scuffs on my V40s diamond cuts
That’ll corrode within a month, especially when some salt gets on it. Also, where the rest of the face is machined, this will have a more polished mirror finish.
It won’t because I ceramic coated it and will keep it clean along with the rest of the car. Yes it has a polished finish but doesn’t blend too badly with the factory cut and looks way better than a big scuff.
It's always that one person who doesn't know crap about refinishing or has never even done the work before, telling a pro how to do their job! Before you down play the process or finishing results just pay attention, you may just learn something. I do this type of work as well and it's not as easy as it seems but done right it looks and performs better than factory which makes both me and my customers very happy
@@chrissmith6111 having been the general manager of the UKs largest diamond cut wheel refinisher, I think I’m relatively well qualified. This repair would be laughed out of testing for any kind of warranty. Diamond cut and Polished wheels NEED a clear coat, whether that’s paint or powder coat (powder coat lasting significantly longer). No tech should be offering this, it’s a completely sub-par repair. P.s. I won’t even go into the fact he’s completely changed the face profile by not milling it.
This repair wouldn’t be tested for any kind of warranty because it’s a diy jobbie in the back garden lol. I’m not a wheel tech, don’t profess to be and would never perform this kind of quick fix on anyones wheels other than my own. Still, 4 weeks on it’s yet to “corrode” and nobody’s clocked it because it’s hardly noticeable, unlike the horrible scuff.
@@CarCleaningGuru Fair enough, 100% different doing repairs to your own car to get by. My issue here is that people will try to replicate this and there are a number of problems (safety being a big one) with this being shared as a repair method. Glad it’s not corroded, but we have had a dry summer to be fair, I’ll check back in with you mid winter 👍🏼. Honestly, if you sprayed some clear coat over it, you’re not far off the most basic standard of repair, but leaving it bare would be a big no no for anyone with commercial liability.
Sand by hand, really? I see a significant blend line from the polished area, to the machine cut. U need a lil p18/p20 to dust over that...then clear.
Ahora quedo una parte pulida y la otra sin pulir
3.5 yrs ltr.
I think this wont last very long because the clear coat is missing
Then you wash it and the difference between the polish and Clearcoat becomes obvious
But far less obvious than a big dirty scuff!
That's a diamond cut finish, it needs to be milled again and without a proper clearcoat it won't last a winter
I thought I’d try it myself first before committing to recutting the whole face of a brand new wheel and think it’s a perfectly acceptable diy spot repair. The ceramic coating and weekly washing should prevent it from dulling but if it does, a quick hand polish will bring it back to life.
All that happened is a polish will keep showing up
On deeper spots doesnt work..😂
A ten minute sanding job
Ok now buff out all the tooling marks out of the rest of the wheels so they all match
I’d rather keep the original cut lines and have one small polished spot.
I do love me some polished aluminium..
Congratulations and you damaged the deionised surface of the aluminium. Therefore, that part is completely exposed to oxidisation. And how about the diamond cut that the wheel used to have?
It was already damaged, I made it look less so. I protected the wheel with a ceramic coating afterwards to prevent oxidation and no you won’t have the cut finish in that spot but neither will you have a big ugly scuff.
Music sounds like gran turismo
