The season is starting and with it the washing of the wheels after the winter. One of the most frequent questions I get now is "how" do I find out the condition of my Alcoa rims with Durabright coating.

The year 2025 ended on December 31, and it was truly a year that tested what a person – a polisher – a driver – can endure. The year started with a typical winter, when polishing work slows down. But that also means more time for preparations that are necessary not only for business, but also in personal life. Once the season starts, there is hardly any time left for anything else.

Merry Christmas and a successful year 2026

When choosing polishing wheels, it is important to consider the material hardness and the stage of polishing. For coarse polishing, hard wheels are used, often made of sisal. For pre-polishing, impregnated wheels are suitable – most commonly the orange one (hard) and the yellow one for finer work. Final polishing is done with a white wheel.

Do you want the aluminum under your hands to shine like a mirror? Then it's not enough to just grab the first polishing wheel you find. Before you get started, you need to know what kind of aluminum alloy you're dealing with—whether it's soft or hard. This will determine the entire process and the choice of the right disc and paste.
