Ah ok. Friend of mine has them on his truck. Not a bad tire. Should look good.

I wish I got some pictures of a customers car that I did a small demo on. It was a new Camaro, the wheels were badly swirling and mar'd. just by hand and about 30 secs of "trying" it on one spoke it knocked 60% of the damages out.

If you wanna try it by hand go this route...

if you wanna do it by machine (drill) try this...

just be very careful when doing it with the drill. (18v or better)

Thanks for the info Jason!

Can I use a slower drill (I think mine might be 14v at the most)?

Ya, try one spoke at a time. as your working with one spoke, check to make sure its not hot, just warm. Dont be scared to apply pressure so you can "cut" into the clear.

I picked up some Mothers PowerMetal and some microfiber cloths. I just want to give it a try by hand and see what it looks like. Then maybe I'll give my orbital buffer a shot. We'll see how it goes.

But I know the proper way to fix them would be with a multi-step process and polishing.

WAIT!

Don't use metal polish on those wheels. That's paint clearcoat you are trying to polish. Metal polish will fWONk it up! I know it's an alloy wheel, but you re polishing paint. You need to use a standard automotive paint very light compound...

NNNOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[nubuilder]

You have got to be fWONking kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished one wheel!!

How the hell do you get this stuff off? I've wiped it down with a wet microfiber cloth and then dried it. What should I use?



Anyways, I took a pic before washing it back off...or at least I hope.

Looks okay, bud. I think you are fine! It's just a clear coat, you can use regular car polish on it, like we were talking about earlier

I hate those wheels.

Oh wait...
