Clear coat aluminum wheels

[Bobby B.]

Give it a try, but you might need to step up to a rotary polisher with airway buffing wheels to remove the sanding marks. Please post some pictures of the process. Good luck!

So here's the plan, now that the wheels are back from sandblasting.

I'm going to wet sand them 600, 800, then 1000 grit.

After that I'll use Wolfgang MetallWerk Aluminum Polishing Kit. Ill apply it with Lake Country 6.5 FLAT Pads starting with yellow, then white, then blue.

Once it's fully polished I'll finish the job with Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating Complete Kit.

Your going to polish sanding marks with a 6.5" pad? Is this a rotary or DA?

My advice before you do anything else...give Evans Detailing and Polishing out of chilton wisconsin a call. Those wheels would be right up his allie. Atleast ask for some advice.
Evan knows his stuff and is damn good.

Thanks. I'll look into that.

DA. If that won't work I'm open to suggestions. This is my first time doing this level of work.

I will look him up.

The only way that I have ever been able to get rid of sanding marks is ending with 3600 grit paper, and using a hybrid wool pad on a rotary. A DA won’t touch it. I don’t know how you get a rotary inside all the complicated radaii and surfaces of a wheel.

You can mount a buffing pad and use the side edge to get in pretty easily though those are often used with rouge bars for the polishing product. But I’d also agree you want to get up past 2000 grit before starting on polishing metal.
