Prepping Aluminum wheels for the VIS-Polish Machine:

What do I need to do to prep a wheel before running my first cycle?
1.    Pressure wash the wheel and wash any grease, dirt, concrete or tar off. This is also good so you don’t have extra debris in your machine.
2.    Hand sand any excessive problem areas using a dual action sander.
3.    Install bolt hole plugs if completing heavy sanding cycles in the machine.
4.    Use the grease stick on the wheel rim to assist in extending the flapwheel’s life by keeping the ends supple.

Why is it important to prep the wheels before putting them through the VIS Polish System?  It is important because not only will your flapwheels last longer, but you’ll end up with better and more consistent results.
