How to Polish Alloy Car Rim Using Flitz Polish & Buff Ball

[wikkid61]

Leaving this light film of dirt on wheel, gives an even more pronounced 'before and after' shot.

Yes, wash the rim before you use any type of polish, I thought that went with out saying.

I don't understand 100%... Unless Jeep does not clear coat their wheels, all you are "polishing" is the clear coat. I can see where this product would be useful for bare metals...

will this remove scratches?

The problem I have with these drill products is evidenced at 2:25 of this vid..notice the click..thats the drill head connection banging against the top of the rim! I have $4000 rims...no way!!! The ball needs to be designed better with padding at the drill connection area......my 2 cents worth

A better choice for you might be Flitz's 2" Super-Mini BüffBall. Its 8" no scratch shaft keeps the drill head safely away from your rim. I was trying to show the basic polishing techniques in a 3 minute video, I am sure most everyone would take more time & care in polishing their wheels, especially if you paid $4,000 for them.

you should have cleaned the rim first.

[irishkendoll]

thats because the rim would have looked to good for his demo lol

I'm a car valeter, and you should always clean before polishing. I'm sure you didn't wash the wheel to show a greater visual effect of the polish. However, you should reccomend cleaning the wheel first as any dirt particles will cause small scratches on the wheel when moved around.

This Jeep has over 40,000 miles on it. It was beyond a simple cleaning. Please see the post on thepolishguy-dot-com for before and after pictures.

[ThePolishGuy1]

You can use either type of drill. In general the higher the speed the higher the luster up to 2500 rpms.
