What happens here

Begin the wheel polishing process by removing the old valve stems from the wheels. Clean off any major dirt from the wheel surfaces. Then, use a cordless drill equipped with a polishing ball attachment and polishing compound to shine the chrome and aluminum surfaces of the wheels. The video shows a significant difference between the polished and unpolished parts of the wheel.

Goal: Restore shine and cleanliness to the vehicle's wheels

What they say

Hide

pulled out the old valves. It's easier to polish around them that way, and they still had to be replaced with new ones. I also cleaned the discs of basic dirt, on both sides. Now you can carry them there and shine them . Polishing is going pretty well. These little ball nozzles make the job very easy. You see, I spent almost no time or effort on this. Just took a quick walk. And here's what another disk looks like, which I haven't touched yet. He is just dull and unremarkable. Black anodizing doesn't look the best. I don't know if it can be polished or sanded to make it better. But when the wheel is on the Escalade , it's almost invisible because there's no direct light. So I'm not too worried.
