thanks Nate,for harbor frt. sanding block tip , was just going to use sand paper, bought cheap torq thrust wheels, going to sand,polish,and paint spokes black. 139.00 bucks unfinished vs. 500.00 + finished. Time to get nasty dirty !

The wheels look great ... would be nice to have had more info on the product used, and how you went through each step of the whole process from start to finish - Thanks for posting

I apreciate the tips. I have some light corrision pitting, otherwise the wheels are in good shape for their age. Thank you Nate!

Beautiful!! Tip: Take an old hub, and weld or bolt it to an electric motor, and mount your wheel to it. Set it up so your wheel face is up. A wheel balancer works pretty good too, but that angle is a little harder to work with. This is how a lot of wheel refinishers, can bust out multiple wheel sets on the daily. This is good for filing and sanding out curb rash, cause you get an even lip all the way around, as well as sanding out all the pitting/knicks, cutting, and polishing the wheel evenly without creating low spots.

What type of grinder were you using they say to use variable speed grinders would a regular grinder work

@NaztyNate

A 7 inch grinder can be used to do the main cutting. But you will want to use a buffer/grinder with variable speed (up to 3500) too get the best shine with the last few steps.

You can also use WD-40 to wet sand with the sanding discs. I did a horrible set of aluminum mags. I used. 400 grit up to 2000 to polish to a shine. Wear an apron, goggles and gloves. Or you can just throw away your clothing afterwards!

It's most likely clear coated from the factory, I've seen people use aircraft paint stripper to remove the coating or just sand it off. When you do that though, you would be exposing the bare metal to the elements and they will lose their shine more quickly when it rains and especially in the winter time. if you live somewhere with salt. You would just need to keep up with them to stay looking fresh!

When you hand polish your alum, you should use cotton terry cloth. It will scratch less than the microfiber and leave a nicer finish.

@NaztyNate

@stephenwhite5444

Жыл бұрын

Clean microfiber doesn't scratch at all. You can polish paint and wipe off with microfiber and inspect it with a light and there's zero scratching....and that's in paint which is MUCH MUCH softer than aluminum. On the other hand, you can NOT wipe down with terry cloth because it scratches badly. That said, I'd imagine terry cloth is fine for metal.

What grit of sandpaper would you recommend starting with and what grit would you recommend stopping at?

@NaztyNate

5 жыл бұрын

I'd recommend stopping at 600-1000, the buffing wheels i used will buff polish something close to 600 or above. Starting is a bit different, it just depends how bad the wheels are. I would start at 320 and see if that will sand out any pitting/corrosion. If not, go lower. In most case you could start with 400 or 600 if there is little pitting.

Acid Wash, and apply Blue Premium and get same results for less than 25 bucks lol

How much do you charge?

If you dont have a tire machine, put the rim back on a jacked up car with all corners of the frame up on jacks, and rotate your wheels to the drive axles, then while at idle you can POLISH them while they rotate. If you are a scare D cat, you can always spin them without the car running and spin them by hand kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZnyoucSAlduZm5c.html ( take the valves out and weights off first ) you will still have to do the lug holes after you've taken them off the car.

Was the Zephyr product able to remove all the sanding marks? I'm currently in the process of redoing some factory Ford F250 rims that have heavy oxidation which required a lot of sanding. I can get them to shine with normal aluminum polish and a puffing pad but the scratches are still prevalent. I was looking into the zephyr kit, but I don't wanna invest if i'll be in the same situation.

@NaztyNate

It does take the sanding marks out but it depends. You need to make sure each time you step up in grit you are actually removing all the sanding marks from the last grit. You should sand up to about 1000 grit before you start polishing
