WHEEL POLISHING AND RESTORATION KIT 

Do you have banged-up, scratched and weathered aluminum wheels?  Now, for the first time, you can restore them to like-new condition with our terrific WHEEL RESTORATION and POLISHING KIT.

All you need is your trusty electric drill, and our complete instructions and superior products will guide you through the process.

If you've tried to replace or have your wheels restored professionally, you know how expensive that can be, and if you've looked at other kits from other companies, you know they are far from complete, with important items intentionally left out so you'll have to buy them separately in addition to the price of the kit. RestoMotive Laboratories doesn't play those games!

Our kit is complete and fully guaranteed to be complete. All you need is your electric drill and a little time and effort on your part...

Instructions for Use 

Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing our Wheel Restoration Kit. We realize you are probably not a professional wheel restorer, and we have designed our kit with that fact in mind. If you have questions after reading our directions, please call us at 1-800-457-6715 and we will try to help you along. Please note: tires should be removed from wheels before restoration is attempted. This will enable you to have access to all surfaces without impediment, and you will be able to inspect, clean, buff, and final-coat your wheels much more easily.

1. Clean wheels with Marine Clean (mix 1 part MC to 2 parts hot water). Use a scrub brush to remove dirt and grease from all surfaces. Rinse with water and dry. 

2. Remove old clearcoat by spraying a thin, covering coat of stripper on the wheel. Wait 15 minutes, then use the plastic scraper in your kit to remove bubbled coating. Repeat as necessary. Older thicker coatings may require several sprayings. Then clean wheel again with Marine Clean and use steel wool to remove stubborn remnants of the old coating. Finally, rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely. 

3. Refer to figure 1. Affix buffing wheel in blue-dot package to your electric drill and apply number 80 greaseless compound as shown (figure 2). Your drill should have a capability of 2000RPM. Work small areas at a time and check your work frequently (instruction A). Continue to buff and re-apply compound as needed until all scratches and rough spots are removed. Always clean your buffing wheels between uses because the compounds will harden and be difficult to remove later (see cleaning information B). Put your blue buffing wheel into the blue-dot package after use. Wash wheel with Marine Clean, rinse well with water, then dry. 

4. Attach the buffing wheel in the green-dot package to your drill and continue to buff, using number 220 greaseless compound. Don’t mix compounds and wheels, keep them separate. Wash with Marine Clean as before. Now repeat this instruction using the red 320 Greaseless Compound with the buffing wheel in the reddot package. Continue smoothing and buffing until all scratches and 220 grit marks are gone. Wash again with Marine Clean, rinse with water, then dry.Note: At this time, your wheel should have a matte look (dull, like a casting). If you wish to keep it that way, skip ahead to step 7. If you want a highly polished look, continue... 

5. If fine scratches or buffing marks remain, repeat step 4. Otherwise continue on... 

6. Now apply Artisan Metal Polish following instructions on jar. Attach the 6” final buffing wheel (in the yellow-dot package) and buff entire wheel in a north to south direction . Next, buff the wheel again in an east to west direction (see figure 3). Stop and check your progress frequently. Continue buffing until you achieve  a highly-polished shine, then apply AP 120 Metal Prep, wait two minutes (no longer!), rinse off and dry.
