Bring New Life to a Tired Looking Rim


 In this video tutorial I go through the steps I took to restore my tired, pitted, scratched and worn out looking rims to a lustrous, fresh from the factory, showroom finish.

Rims on a car or motorcycle are just one of those items that separate your vehicle from the guy next to you with same. Rims tell a distinct story about your personality type, passion and love for the machine you spend most of your time on or in throughout your commute. But unlike a car, motorcycle rims and cleanliness tell a story much deeper then what's seen by the common onlooker. To another rider, the condition of your rims and tires demonstrates your undying love for the sport and the commitment you have to this precision machine.

 Have you ever ridden behind a bike and noticed a worn spot revealing the beltline holding the carcass together. I mean this tire is SO bad that you can literally see the air he's riding on. In that brief moment  you took a second and thought, "damn this guy doesn't give a rats ass about his safety" and followed it up with, "I wonder what else he doesn't care about", or am I alone in this thinking?

Equally noticable is when you see a bike parked and you walk up to admire it and notice all sorts of oil, dirt buildup, and scratches on the surface of the rim and thought "damn guy, a little degreaser, a wash,  and some fresh paint wouldn't hurt from time to time", or again, is that just me?

Well I'm here to tell you, don't be that guy. If your tired of your rims looking like you just picked them up from the junk yard then this is the video for you. With a few cans of spray paint purchased at your local automotive store and a few hours of your time. You can restore your rims look and finish just as I did.
