This will be the last in the series of Diamond cut and alloy repair videos. In this video I simplify the process and try and keep it as DIY as possible to still achieve pro results!
Sending your wheels away and having them Re Diamond cut is very expensive and you will loose your vehicle for several days.
To anyone who does bodywork and Smart Repair, who would like to advance into wheels... these are a very popular service to offer your clients.
Using a Rotary Polisher, 180, 320 and 400 grit sanding discs, removing the old finish. This is shown in a simple way in the video.
In the Video I offer two options. Option 1 is to do some wet sanding to refine and then polish as a finishing stage. This offers a very mirror like, polished look to the wheel face.
Option 2 shows that after the 400 grit stage, a piece of dry scotch pad can be added to the backing plate to recreate that Polished Face Factory look!

@@cvrpov Update - It turned out well. I found that a 400 grit disc Diablo SandNet worked well to give the OEM look. Moving up the grits of paper and then going to a compound didn't quite turn out as I hoped and exposed small flaws. I preferred the OEM style look. Moving from the center towards the edges of the wheel and using only the edge of the disc helped keep the lines slightly curved, but not swirls. It was a bit tricky to do with my wheels, as the individual spokes are a bit intricate and not quite "flat". They slightly angled inwards or outwards which made it difficult at first. However, I would definitely recommend this method to anyone looking to save a buck or two and spend a day on some DIY wheel repair. Rattle can was a flop, and I had to remove it after my failed application - so I had a professional 2k clear coat it for me to ensure a proper finish and protection. Thanks for the inspiration, I'll likely complete the project with the other wheels that are a bit damaged as well.

You mean work inwards. Not forgetting that in this instance the sander is orbital so as you move it outwards yes you’ll replicate a diamond cut but then you’ll make a U shape on the outward stroke. Unless you tilt the sander. By moving inwards the last part on the sander replicates the diamond cut.

Great video. The only thing I would do differently is to use the electric sander with only the pad side/ radius facing the outside of the wheel touching the wheel when creating the diamond cut effect. Reason for this is that the diamond cut/ arc effect of the pad will match the round arc/rotation of the wheel. You will notice that after polishing with the dry scotch pad with only the side/ radius facing the inside of the wheel touching the wheel (16:56) the diamond cut/ arc effect is in the reverse/ opposite arc to the round arc/rotation of the wheel. Hard to explain, but look at the arc of the scratches at (16:56) and it should make more sense

Use a light coat or 2 of Mipa 1k haft promoter onto the bare metal, flash off then clear with your preferred 2k lacquer. Mipa haft is a game changer, takes seconds. Comes in aerosol, or tin to run through your clear gun. Having tried various methods over the years of stripping the DC face, my preference would be 180>320>500>800 rotary mop sander. If you have a tyre machine, keep the wheel rotating whilst holding grey/red scotch firmly onto the face to recreate lines in the correct direction

It isn't a uniform machined like finish but rather machined and sort of faded white near the hub. Do you have ideas on how that happened and how I can remove them before polishing and lacquer to look similar to your uniformity before you used the compound?

Apparently, the camera does not do your work justice if you did what I want. If they did not look polished enough to mimic chrome, I guess go to 3000 grit? What? Thanks in advance!

Hey man, ive watched a ton of your videos on diamond cut wheels, my question is how do you fix really deep curb rashes that needs to be filled and getting te filler also the same as a diamond cut finish?

inspirational job! tx. Question: Are the bare looking sections of Diamond cut rims also always all-over lacquered from factory or are the bare metal shiny sections sometimes only polished and left UNlacquered and sold as such? If partly or always fully lacquered, how can I tell? Since on first sight, the shiny Diamond cut sections of my original 19” Audi diamond cut rims look UNlacquered over there?
