THESE ARE OFF OF AN AVERAGE USED DIESEL TRUCK WE HAVE TAKEN SOME PICTURES ALONG THE WAY IT WAS A 40+ HOUR ADVENTURE

WHEEL WEIGHTS ADHESIVE REMOVAL
WHEEL WEIGHTS ADHESIVE REMOVER REMOVER
AGITATED ACID WASHING
IRON TURNS RED AND WASHES OFF
DIRTY DIESEL DUALLY
ASSESING THE SCRATCHES
CAP NUTS REMOVED A 1-5/16" IS TOUGH TO FIND
FANCY DECORATIVE CAPS ARE TRICKY TO REMOVE
THESE CAPS ARE TRICKY TO REMOVE YOU MUST USE A BRAKE FLUID WASH AND DRY FOR EACH ONE
WATCH YOUR TEMPS AND KNOW YOUR MATERIALS , CHEMICALS & TOOLS
DECORATIVE CAPS NUTS HEADED FOR A ACID BATH
MULTIPLE SILICONES AND LOCTITES ON THESE
MUST GET THESE ALL CLEANED IN AND OUT THEN POLISHED
THE CORROSION IS DEEP
WD 40 SHOULD LOOSEN UP SOME TAR OVERNIGHT
CAN BARELY SEE WHERE THE FIRST 100 TEST SCRUBS WERE AFTER MULTIPLE ACID WASHES AND GOOD OL WD 40 SOAKINGS
MOST WOULD SAY NO WAY AT THIS STAGE .
ALMOST TO THE POINT OF REQUIRING A SANDBLASTING
YOU COULD BE STUCK ON THIS STAGE FOR HOURS ON EACH RIM
OUR SORE ARMS ALREADY SCREAMING PLEASE NO MORE WIPING LOL
HANG IN THERE AND DO NOT RUSH IT ... YOU DO NOT WANT SCRATCHES !
EVEN AFTER 30 PASSES IT MAY SEEM IMPOSSIBLE
TESTING OUT THE POLISH ON THE BACKSIDE & ITS LOOKING GOOD
POLISH AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
THIS IS JUST THE BACKSIDE
THIS IS A DIRTY JOB AND ITS ONLY THE BEGINNING .
EACH AND EVERY PART OF THE RIM IS CAREFULLY POLISHED IN MULTIPLE STAGES
ONE CAN BARELY GET THEM OFF NOTHING IS EVER EASY
NEED THIS JUST TO REMOVE THE REMOVER
CORROSION CAN BE DEEP AND WITH A TEXTURED SURFACE IT IS HARD TO REMOVE OR CHANGE
WOWSERS THESE ARE BAD EVEN AFTER 5 DIFFERENT TREATMENTS AND MANUAL LABOR
USUALLY GIVE IT A GOOD 30 AND TAKE A LOOK
PUT AN EXTRA 100 PASSES ON THIS AND NOTHING CHANGES . GET COATED ASAP IS ALL I CAN SAY TO AVOID CORROSION LIKE THIS
NO WAY TO REMOVE THESE SPOTS WITHOUT GOING ALOT DEEPER AND REMOVING THE TEXTURED SURFACE IT IS BEYOND A POLISHERS REACHES WHEN A HIGH VOLUME OF METAL MUST BE REMOVED
SHOULD HAVE BEEN COATED WHEN IT WAS NEW . THIS WILL BE THE NEW RAW NAKED LOOK OR THE CLEANEST THIS IS ABLE TO BE NOW BEFORE POLISHING .
REALITY FOR THESE TEXTURED BARRRELS IS THEY HAVE SLIGHT CORROSION DAMAGE
KEEP ON POLISHING AND USE PLENTY OF TOWELS
FINAL DECON SCRUB & WASH
RIMS ARE STARTING TO SHINE
EVEN THE LITTLE BIT AROUND THE BASE IS POLISHED OUT
EACH AND EVERY PART IS CLEANED
JUST 1 MORE TIME I KEEP SAYING
BLING BLING IT STARTS TO SHINE
JUST 1 MORE TIME
THIS IS THE TEXTURED RIMS AS CLEAN , POLISHED AND COATED AS POSSIBLE
THIS IS THE OTHER TEXTURED RIMS AS CLEAN , POLISHED AND COATED AS POSSIBLE
LOOKING VERY CLOSELY NOW EVEN A FINGERPRINT IS POLISHED OUT .
OF COARSE WE LOVE THE POLISHED BARRELS THE MOST BUT WE PUT AS MUCH LOVE INTO ALL OF THE SURFACES
ALUMINUM RIMS ARE NO JOKE
DECORATIVE NUTS RE-INSTALLED WITH TORQUE WRENCH THEN THE DECORATIVE CAPS ARE INSTALLED .
WE HAD TO TAKE A MEMORY PHOTO OF ALL THE PADS THAT GOT DESTROYED TRYING TO GET THIS ONE RIM LOOKING GOOD . THIS IS A TOUGH DIRTY JOB
IN THE END YOU PICK UP SOMETHING SUPER CLEAN AND BLING BLING .
