Have to say I watched this video 5 times and gave my 20" audi diamond cut a go they turned ou unbelievable as I was quoted €150 a wheel so saved meself 550euro all the equipment only cost me €50 this chap is a genius thanks very much for the video if I could only put up a big before and after 👌👌

@billinski42 Жыл бұрын

If you want a cheap job then follow this. The reason you spend a lot with a professional is 1) the entire wheel back & front will be sand blasted, 2) all blemishes removed, 3) filled as required, 4) powder coated several times & baked hard, 5) several coats of heavy duty lacquer. You always get what you pay for.

Superb video as I’ve never seen any wheel refurb company in Ireland get them back to factory even when they charge €150 a wheel. Hence I was able to preserve the spoke on 20 inch 759i Bmw G30 wheel and just use your technique on the section that was damaged. I ended up using 3000 wet sanding and the finish was almost too polished like an E46 M3 19 inch diamond cut from factory. Thanks so much for this. Best solution out there

People trying to chime in by adding their own backhand compliments and slidding them criticism in, we see you, you ain't slick. This dude did a good job and you know what? it didn't require painting, just sprayed clear to protect and that's it!

@CatacombKidd 4 жыл бұрын

That’s all well and good. I suppose I’ll be one of them and add a comment that you might find slighted and back handed, but will only help other people trying this... He never cleaned the surface before painting. Not to mention, just before the scuffing, he used a polishing compound. That stuff sticks around a long while, and paint isn’t going to adhere well to it. Acetone, mineral spirits, even rubbing alcohol. Just oils from your hands alone can contaminate a paint job. Have to clean it before applying paint. Looks decent now, but unfortunately, his clear is going to be chipping and peeling in no time at all. Maybe he did but didn’t show it, or said he did, and I didn’t catch it...

@hamzak4730 4 жыл бұрын

CatacombKidd I’m going to attempt this. Not sure about the clear coat though. Is it absolutely necessary to use it? As there are quite a few diamond cut touch up videos on KZfaq which don’t use clear coat... thanks

Hi mate just wanted to say I followed your tutorial. I have a bmw 1 series with the polished shiny lips. They are the optional 18" Alloys in polished silver and black. I managed to kerb one alloy few weeks ago. Well my repair came out superb. You can't even notice where it was now. I used scholl s20 black Polish after 2000 grit wet sanding. Many thanks 👌👌👌👌

good technique and lots of patience on display here. probably looking at 3 or 4 hrs work depending on depth of abrasions. I’ve done a few wheels as illustrated when turn around time was critical or replacement wheel wasn’t an option but at my $75/hr shop rate I check the aftermarket for refinished wheels before doing it in-house.

This is a superb demo, articulate and clear without any stupid music or the history of how the wheel got scuffed!!!!!! Just two things please, can i not just use my DA sander instead of a drill? and I struggle to find such high grit discs, they all tend to only go up to 240. I currently have a 2010 Golf match where the diamond faces have tarnished and also a 2012 Nissan Quashqai, again with corroded faces. Thanks very much, really is one of the best videos I have seen

@skybluesam5676 6 жыл бұрын

looks good, worth baring in mind as I have been window shopping for an audi a3 preferably with the same rotor wheels fitted and have yet to see one with an unmarked set and these wheels dont look as good when powder coated a single colour. It helps on these particular wheels that the machine polished parts sit out prominent from the painted parts so as to avoid damaging the painted bits.

I used to do this as a profession, good tips on a DIY repair, these wheels originally were a matt finish, to remove that shiny line between the old lacquer and new repair, mask off the coloured section around where you have polished, give it a light scotching with the grey scotch bright and spray a light Layer of 94 silver until the line disappears, then to the untrained eye after you lacquer you really won't be able to tell. These were the best wheels to work on

@@jacksonloomer5774 We used to use colourtone 94 silver, I'm assuming it should be a standard colour code? Just a light spray from the outside feathering towards this inside, whilst lay flat it is quite obvious to see but once on the vehicle lacquered (especially on matt lacquer wheels) its hardly noticeable, especially to the untrained eye
