Hey guys today I'm going to show you the quickest and easiest way to clean and polish your wheels.
This Tundra has American Force 22 inch polished Aluminum wheels that have oxidation, brake
dust and grime on the surface that is dulling out the finish.
So, to clean it I'll use Diablo Wheel Gel with our Ball Buster Attachment to really
scrub that off of there and restore that high shine.
To start off, we're going to load up one of our Professional Spray Bottles.
This is a thirty ounce bottle that has a dilution ratio on the side and I'm going to add 3:1
of Diablo Wheel Gel.
This will give me the right concentration to clean these wheels and bring back that
mirror shine.
Now we'll just add the water.
While I'm reattaching the top I'll show you a quick trick to prevent creating foam inside
of the bottle simply mix it back and forth which creates the right amount of foam as
you spray.
The foam helps to lubricate as well as emulsify any of the brake dust so you don't scratch
but more importantly it is going to penetrate the surface so we can get as much of that
grime off of there for the perfect shine.
So now that I have the solution mixed together I'll start by spraying it directly on the
surface and you can see the foaming action which is going to help lubricate as we wash
so we don't scratch.
It gets in between the spokes and hard to reach areas which will make it a lot easier
to clean.
I'll give the Diablo Wheel Gel a chance to trap all the grime so we don't scratch the
wheel, in the meantime I'll grab one of our Ball Buster Drill Attachments.
This is what I'll be using to clean it, it'll make it a lot easier to scrub instead of using
my hands.
The machine is going to do all the work while I guide it.
Just attach it to the drill and spray a little bit of the solution on the pad to add lubrication
and cleaning power.
Now we can start scrubbing but before you start using any drill or power tools it is
a good idea to have some sort of eye protection, I wear my glasses everyday and this is my
eye protection.
Also I'm wearing gloves so I won't harm my hands but this attachment has plenty of safety
features on its own.
This sleeve prevents you from grabbing the shaft so you won't burn or pinch your fingers.
The foam is dense so it can conform to size shape or spokes giving the perfect shine to
insure that all the grime is removed for a perfectly clean wheel.
Now you can see that the lubricating bubbles of Diablo Wheel Gel have taken care of any
of the surface debris now I'll rinse it off to check the work that we've done.
Then we can move on to the polishing steps.
Get the drill wet, helps its performance.
After rinsing and drying off the wheel you can see that the dirt is removed but it is
still pretty rough and there is a lot of oxidation and water spots.
So now I'll switch off to a second Ball Buster, this way I don't have to stop mid way and
clean this one and also now I have a dedicated cleaning and polishing Ball Buster.
Same process, reattach the Ball Buster to the drill.
Now using some Light Metal Polish we're going to clean these up and that will take care
of any of the oxidation or anything else that is taking away from the overall look while
leaving behind a protective layer of wax which keeps it shiny for longer.
I'll start here at the bottom just to show you guys a quick 50/50 of what the Light Metal
Polish can do and then we can move on to the rest of the wheels.
You guys can see it has been a huge transformation, the Light Metal Polish and the Ball Buster
took care of the oxidation and water spots that were in this small section.
