How To Repair Curb Rash & Scratches on Alloy Wheel Rims. DIY Tutorial

hello everyone dj blindblink here so i kept my alloy it's a diamond cut i've kept it before and i've repaired it and i'm going to do a video now that's going to show you how you can do it i'm going to show you the tools and everything you need to do most important thing is you need to be very patient when repaying the alloy you need to be very very patient so let's show it to you now let's have a look at the damage you can see it's right here all the way from the top all right we're going to go all the way downward all the way to the bottom and also at the back and there you can see it also that's a little bit at the bottom it's been scruff yeah so that's it you can see how nasty that is yeah you can see very very nasty very very nasty all right now let's get down to the tools you're gonna need you're gonna need a wet and dry paper 800 this is what you need to file down everything when you're done memory clothes are sorted it contains one fine one medium and one quart six you need this lighter the alloy will lycra right you need water in a spray can that you can spray and you need anything that you can use to hold um the the clutch you're going to use to file down right so the process is going to fold this down after filing this down you clean it up and after cleaning it up then you spray the lycopene so we're going to get this started now one thing you need to notice is this the emery clothes are sorted the first one you're going to use cannot be used wet you need to use it dry all right so that's what you're going to use to file everything down you know to get everything smoothed now the wet and dry paper this one this one you'll be spraying water with so the first one no water this one water so let's get down to this so the one i'm picking up now is the medium the one medium from the emery clothes are sorted i'm going to do this part then i'm going to zoom in and then you see the bottom part so i'm going to do it for my final so you can see it you can see what i'm doing just taking a little bit all right just a little bit put it on this all right and then i can use it to file it's just to hold this you really don't if you don't want to have used anything you can use this alone but to get it good smooth don't don't worry yourself too much if you're filing away yeah just you know concentrating on this area and go in one motion [Music] now it's getting smooth get this smooth already so now let's get the clock off adjust this alone so now i've used the medium to falling down a little next thing i'm going to have taken the other one the one cross all right and then just holding it remember it's rough it's more rough than the medium [Music] so now i'm going to zoom in and then you see it's more closely right all right so i'm going to do a close shot now so you can see it's gonna fall away this gives you a better view of what i'm doing so yeah we're taking away the top layer more and more so we're still using the cross and the medium that's you know you're alternating between them is the medium now no water not a single drop of water at all yeah i'm gonna zoom out now you can see how smooth it is it doesn't even look as if it's been kept yeah and this is without the lyka no like i yet we've not added the lanca so yeah just keep going back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth so now i'm going to wipe it down you see okay dry cloth also to clean it so you can see what you're doing all right so we've got the dry cloth [Applause] wiping it down so we can see what we're doing yeah what i'm going to do now is going to use a phone camera to record this look at the video from the phone camera you can see what we've smoothened out yeah let's go close to it you can see all what we've done yeah we're gonna smoothen it some more oh yeah that's it all the way yeah with the phone camera okay so next one we're gonna use this is the part of water and wet and dry paper how do you do this you're gonna spray and then you wipe down yeah you lavish lavishes with water lots of water so see yeah you can see what i'm doing let me take this camera backwards spray and rub you can see i keep spraying the water i'm not even slowing down at all at all don't even make the mistake yeah i was slowing down the water so what do we want what we're going to do now we're going to wipe it take a look we still got some little tiny marks here i want to get it off and then we're gonna work on that so remember no water this is the class one yeah after this i'm going to do the back wheel i'm not going to show the video of the back way because as you know will is a wheel well yeah let's keep watching this so yeah it's all about patient you got to be very very patient here but now to be honest you can't even see any mark now i'm not bothering again here i don't want to take away anything from here i'm just dealing with the part now but you can see back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth so yes this is good i'm happy save myself some money and do it myself again what next remember water and this slavish spray and wipes yes as much water as possible all right this is super smooth i'm gonna wipe it down now and i'm gonna record it also with the phone camera so you can see i can come more closer so you can see what we've done this we've done all the repair very smooth yeah all the way down there super smooth that's it so next stage we need to spray the alloy we like onto it um it's usually advisable to spray this at you know warm temperature like 20 degrees and above but what about if you're in winter you know there's no sunlight what would you do so what i do is i put this in warm water very hot water not warm water i boil water to 100 degrees dump this in it shake it very well and then spray it and then i wait 12 hours so when i spray it now i'm not going to spray it again until tomorrow evening so what i'm going to do now is i'm going to boil water dump this in it wait for it to warm up and then spray it so let's get the hot boiling water so this is what i mean you drop the aloe vera lacquer into warm water you can see boiling water so let's just leave this for a while and then yeah we're good to go all right so it's gotten dark now i've had some more lighting now while the lacquer paint is um heating up in the warm water what you can what you need to do is get some any cards any set of cards you can get there any cards you can get just put them in here because remember you're going to spray all the way at this side and you don't want a situation where um you don't want a situation where the locker itself goes on the wheels so next we're gonna do we're gonna cover all the area we don't want the lacquer to land on with as much tape as you can you know paper tape anything just protect all those areas [Music] time to spray so how am i gonna spray this stuff just a quarter length away from the alloy wheel i'm gonna go this way that way this way that way don't let it drip yeah do not let it drip so just go this motion this motion this motion this motion and then you wait for 12 hours and then you do another one again 12 hours between each coat right so let's get this done so that's the lacquer can it's warm for the touch shake shake shake shake shake shake it for about two minutes and then spray you can see what i'm doing yeah see that motion it's not gonna drip don't let it drip yeah and that's it let it dry 12 hours you're back again so i've decided to make a quick video of the repair before i post the video on my youtube channel but you can see this was where i did all the walks everything looks smooth and very good i've not done the second coat for the lacquer that's going to be done later on this evening for the 12 hours but yeah this is a close shot you wouldn't even know that alloy when that's being cleared that's all and if you look at the back wheel that this walks also on the back wheel also you can see it it looks very very good all right that's it it's all done it's all sorted the cabin all the shenanigans on the wheel has been cleared so remember the whole process you need to be very patient get all the materials use the rough one use the medium one and then you know spray with water use the wet and dry spray you know rub spray and rub and then you know heat up your lacquer um if you need to and if it's not warm enough put the candle around it and then spray it in one motion 12 hours later that's important part 12 hours later you're going to come back again and then spray it so yeah if
