What is that product you used at the end

Patiently and superbly done. Thanks for sharing

I love how he doesn't respond

Exactly what I was thinking. Also never showed a full shot. Guarantee that spot looks way different

Doubt it. Still satisfying to is non OCD folk

That’s the idea!

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?

Fake comment

Yes

100 grit, 800 grit, 1600 grit wet sand, polish wheel with polish compound.

Fookin bloody roight m8

Did you lacquer and blow it in? ​@@AZEOforreal

👌

First time I’ve ever attempted it so maybe next time!

@@CarCleaningGuru Ahh ok nice one! Turned out great, well done!

Its a secret apparently

With the amount you remove is less then a gram I don't think it's that critical

You can’t really. A scotch pad might give the effect somewhat.

But still better than a big ugly scuff.

@CarCleaningGuru I'm interested to know as I have exactly this on a freshly refurbished machine finished wheel (seriously, day I bought the car with fresh refurbished, some div cut me up) How has the clear coat held up? I'd expect the ceramic to let go and eventually the clear coat to start to peel. I'd like to be wrong and do what you did!

🤞

I’d rather keep the original cut lines and have one small polished spot.

I do love me some polished aluminium..

Turtle Wax One & Done Compound.

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.

Was already ruined by the scuff.

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.

Yes but better than a scuff if you don’t want/can’t a afford a full re-cut.

I will yes, nobody else will.

Machined face, do not do this if you want to keep that. Only option is to have them refurbished

Ceramic coating, metal sealant or even wax will do the job so long as you reapply it every few months.

Ceramic coating and just keep it clean.

Should be some details in the description.

Yes hence needing to keep the area topped up with some form of protection thereafter but the scuff had chewed through it already.

Just ceramic coat

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!
