Absolutely great job!!! I’m going on my 50th year in the car biz. Started when I was 18 went on my own when I was 20. Painting panels,truck beds dyeing vinyl tops for car lots,interiors too. Then I was probly the first guy to paint a bumper on a car lot in ‘80 when Honda came out with a painted plastic bumper in the Accord. Weird how paint has changed over the years.When I started in ‘72 they were using lacquer and enamel. I remember the old Imron clear that started killing people. But man what an amazing clear. It was bullet proof and never needed to be waxed or polished ever. There’s Imron paint jobs out there that are still as glossy as they were 50 years ago. I started fixing rims about 30 years ago when a friend asked me to fix the rims on his Porsche. The rest is history. You did a really excellent job on a polished aluminum rim. I am very impressed. Most guys aren’t patient enough and guys that do it for a living have their short cuts because they have to get things done in a timely manner if they’re working for dealerships,but you really did an excellent job. You could have sprayed a little clear over it instead of polishing it for a longer lasting look,but really not necessary. Once again,I’m very impressed with your work ethic,your pride in your workmanship and your attention to detail. Take care and the more you do the better you’ll get at it Personally I think rims are a pain in the ass. Repairing the painted chrome ones is like matching a snowflake. But for some fun,check out Alsa and House of Color chrome paints. Spend some time on the Alsa site. They’ve got all kinds of cool stuff. I think you’ll like it. Sorry for flapping’ my lips and boring the hell out of you,but old guys do that sometimes. Take care,pal

Your the only honest person I've watched repair wheels. Most others will tell you this wheel only took me 10 minutes to repair using their method. I know how long it takes me to do a good job, and it clearly takes a fair amount time and patience to get good results. Thank you!

Well done, Sir. I’ve had to sand a few curb rashes in the past. I didn’t have any tools at all, except sandpaper, water, towel and some elbow-grease. It takes patience, but you feel a whole lot better after.

I followed this video today in attempting to fix my bmw wheel that i accidentally damaged the other day, what a huge difference after the "repair job" was done. I thought I need to use bondo and stuff to get the result i want, but with the help of the video i was able to get it back into a much better shape with just sanding and polishing....great help from you man! I subscribed to your channel because of this video! thumbs up to you

I do wheel repair and use three different Sanders. Honestly you did better then other videos that I have watched. With the right tools this is easily a 20min job. No bondo needed either. But great job honestly

very impressive. This requires a lot of patience and the right tools... GOOD VIDEO

Thank you for this DIY video. There are so many products out there it’s good to know that you can do this yourself with patience and a little elbow grease with sandpaper.

This is one of the best curb-rash-repair videos I've seen; most of them skip over the fine sanding and polishing, cutting straight to priming / painting.

I’ve been watching a couple of these types of videos to try and fix my curb rash and yours is the best so far, thanks for sharing! I’ll try it out tomorrow.

Great job mate. The rim looks 1000% better. You'd have to look VERY close to see where it was damaged. Thanks for the vid.

I'm glad you're a regular guy who isn't a know it all - I watch these videos from different people and I'm confident in a start up business of rim restorations. Been a year long process - except I don't know how to charge someone but it'll be a learning process - thanks for sharing

Good process of experimenting and getting results. Some guys use a rasp to remove the hard ridges..you had the grinder that most of us don't. Hitting with 80, 400,1000 and higher to polish works well. Did my rim in and got it looking a whole lot better in 20 min with this process. Masking off is key, especially with glossy black inserts like the 18/19 accord 19" wheels! Thanks for your video..

You saved me HUNDREDS....Bought rims for my Tahoe (24s) with scratches for $500 because the guy thought curb rash was permanent. Followed your steps... they look brand new.

I would be over the moon if I could do half the job that you did. Very impressed. 👍

That turned out well. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the video dude! This helped return my wheels to as good as new! Now I don't have to worry about buyers/dealer trying to bargain with me based on wheel damage when I go to sell it!

Wow! Thank you for sharing! I too am looking for ways to fix my wheel and you method is on point!

Bought some wheels with curb rash just like this. Glad this was in my recommended! I really thought I had to take them to someone to refinish them.

Spot on mate just ran my Jag along a kerb gutted , you have shown me the way without fillers cheers greetings from the UK

Great job! Mine are black, so i just took the lazy way and used a sharpie oil based paint pen. I'll definitely have to do this eventually and get them repainted though.

"Easy" "DIY", love your guy's videos!

Great job man. Seriously, you inspire me to not do it for myself but to find someone who knows how to do this and make that investment. I’m not good with a sander. When you said you tend to over do it. That’s me all the way. I have a 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T with rims that look just like this. However, my rims are dipped in black. So the marks show ALOT

Probably the best video I've seen for wheel repair 👍

Who else came here sick trying to fix there wheel

Very impressed with the outcome. Great video 👍🏼

no matter what you do. always some people will dislike blah blah. nothing wrong with diy at all. infact diy is how we have everything today including schools. had to start somewhere. your rim came out good.

GREAT FINISH !!!! Thanks for sharing ur skills

Awesome job I just nabbed up a set of mandrus 20s with a bit of curb rash but hey, it's nowhere as bad as yours were and your job came out great. I'm less intimidated and now I know my $100 investment for 4 20s wasn't a bad one considering only 2 have baby curb rash on the polished lip. Thanks for the info and tips!

Really good video, probably the best I have seen for repairing ally wheel damage, Thanks!

FanTASTIC job lad!! Kudos!!

Nice work, I need to fix 1 of my NT03's... thinking about tackling the job myself but I'd likely have to powder coat them too...

You don't suck 😁 Thanks much for the great video. I was out with my mustang this afternoon and scraped my rim... Thanks to your techniques it looks great.

Thanks for doing the video it’s much appreciated it’s better than some of them that go way to far in detail and make it look a lot more difficult than you did.

Awesome job!!!! It came out really well.

You did a wonderful job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I’m gone try that on mine

This video gave me hope. Thank you, sir.

Nicely done! Looks great. And nice ride! Just be carefully blowing metal dust around without a respirator. Wipe it then blow (with protection) 😉

Exactly what we all needed. Thank you so much!

That was a great video and you did an amazing job. Soon as I get the materials together I’m doing this! …maybe.

Really great job, it does look sooo much better. Thanks

Awesome work brother!!!!!

Excellent video. Great narration. Thanks!

I am about to attempt mine, and honestly I think you did a damn good job buddy. I hope mine turns out to be nearly as good at least

Good work dude, nice save

Great stuff mate! I have 25 year old Zepter 3 piece wheels on my A4 and have started doing this but you have done an superb job! Well Done!

Good Job dude. Came out very nice considering the damage done lol..

Great work - thanks for sharing this!!

You rock man stay frosty my frend

I will be using some of these techniques when i get my wheels in this Friday. I just copped a used set of SSR GT02s. My very first set of wheels! #keepingitauthentic #fakepartsbreakhearts I don't have an air compressor, so using pneumatic tools isn't an option for me. Going to try to make use of my dremel, and flexible sanding block and sandpaper. Then wet sand, and polish.

Just damaged my brand new Wheel... So unecessarily too! But thank you for this video as it relieved me of the "WHAT NEXT" stress I have been going through... Im going to do exactly this.

Damn that came out really well! Good job

Yes amazing job looking good those wheels again👍

Very Helpful Video!!! Saved me from having to buy another $120 chrome rim, with only about $25 worth of sanding, grinding, & polishing work.

Great video man! Thanks for the all advices. Wish someone can do a video on GTI mk7 wheels and curb rush repair on them! 👍

Crackin result man👍👍👍👍

Excellent work man...💪💪

Excellent work...great video!

Awesome brother I'm doing mines this weekend

Good Video, Great fix. Well Done

Great job.... we're alike in the over doing it thing. "Just a little more and it will be perfect!" Then when it gets screwed up, we're like 'dammit, I shoulda stopped!". Anyways, great job!

Great narrative! And nice work. You have a voice that is similar to Red Green’s which gives you instant cred.

Nice! Looks great. Good job.

Nice work man 👍🏽

Mate you do a better job than most shops that have all the gear hahaha. Looks mint

Looks good. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work

Great work!

Came out great for your very 1st time doing that repair. Nice.

Great job man

I was at the car wash the other day and after I had taken my car through the tunnel(automatic touchless) I was wiping my car down with a rag and noticed a few spots on my rim that had gotten curb rash. I was super pissed because my car is relatively new and have never hit a curb with my car. I think the guide in the tunnel must've gotten my rim. I am someone who loves and appreciates my vehicles so I was pretty frustrated when I saw it. However, they're relatively small and after watching this video I have confidence they will be sanded out nicely. I'm on a tangent here but yeah I was so frustrated because I've committed myself to keep my car in superb condition which includes not using brush car washes anymore. Needless to say I'm no longer going to use that tunnel anymore and will pressure wash the car myself instead.

Good job bro...alot better then i thought it would look too..

Excellent well done repair & looks A1

Bro u did a awesome job from what it was!!!

Great job man!🔧🔧

Awesome job bro!

Good job man !!

The body tool is a dollie, all purpose dollie!

Wow excellent stuff bud.

This is helpful, Thank You.

What’s most important is taking your time. Don’t rush the process and have the right tools.

Great video!

I recently bought my first car with low profile tyres. Found out the hard way that the rims are more exposed than with bulgy old traditional tyres. Luckily my kerb rash is faily light but all four wheels are affected so I've got my work cut out for me. I have normal tyres fitted now, it is a 4X4 (Subaru Forester) so I figured chunkier tyres are going to be better anyway if I decide to do a bit of green laning ;-) Thanks for this, thumbs up.

Good tips fun video bud!

Nice work!

I just did that to my Dodge Challenger came too close to a curb on the highway and it did the same thing thanks for the video it helped me out greatly!

Awesome job👍

Nice job , thanks for video , iv done a bit of that my self , only thing is with out a clear coat on that worked area , its open to the elements and will have issue in short time .
