Polishing forged or billet aluminum wheels can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and techniques, you can achieve a mirror-like shine. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of polishing your forged or billet aluminum wheels using our easy forging wheel polishing kit.

Before we begin, it's essential to understand that the key to successful polishing is starting with the least aggressive grit possible. This approach ensures that you don't create more work for yourself and will always need to go through the full grit sequence to get back to a place where you can polish using the 'liquid metal rotary wheel'.

When dealing with road rash on the outside lip of your forged wheel or rim, a 600-grit sand may be all you need to fully restore it. However, if the damage is more severe, you may need to step down to a 400-grit sand.

One common problem when polishing forged wheels is curb rash, pitting, scratches, or deep water spotting. In most cases, a simple cut and color followed by a final show shine using airway buffing wheels and buffing compounds is all that's necessary to restore the shine on your forged wheels.

To fix road rash on your American Force or forged rim, it's essential to have the right tools. A Heavy Duty 50 Foot Extension Cord will keep you away from your home or anything that could get dirt on it, while a 20 Ton Air Jack will help you rotate the wheel with your foot and achieve an even sand.

A Random Orbital Sander is also crucial in this process, as it will be used in combination with your 400 or 600-grit sanding discs. When working with metal polishing products, it's vital to wear a Full Face Respirator to prevent inhaling metal dust and other particles.

When it comes to polishing machines, we recommend using the Makita 9237C, Makita GA7021, or DeWalt DWP849X.

In summary, our forged wheel polishing kit and sanding supplies were designed to make your job as easy and simple as possible. Remember that metal polishing is a skill that requires practice, so don't expect perfect results if it's your first time. Forged wheels use soft aluminum, which means they require minimal sanding (if needed) to correct scratches or pitting.

By following these steps and using our easy forged wheel polishing kit, you can achieve a mirror-like shine on your forged or billet aluminum wheels.
