What is wheel polishing?

definition

Hub polishing refers to the use of professional tools and materials to polish, clean and polish the surface of the automotive hub to remove dirt, scratches and defects on the surface of the hub, so that it shows a more smooth, bright and charming luster.

procedure

Hub polishing usually involves the following steps:

1. Clean the hub: Use a professional cleaner to remove impurities such as dirt, brake dust and oil on the surface of the hub. This step is critical because only a thorough cleaning can ensure a subsequent finish.

2. Polish the hub: Use sandpaper or polishing tools to gently polish the surface of the hub, remove small scratches and defects on the surface, and make the surface of the hub more flat.

3. Select polish: According to the material and condition of the wheel hub, choose the right polish.

4. Polishing: Using the polishing machine and polishing wheel, the polishing agent is evenly applied to the surface of the wheel hub, and polished at the appropriate speed and pressure. In the polishing process, it is necessary to constantly observe the surface of the wheel to ensure uniform polishing and avoid local excessive polishing or insufficient polishing.

Polishing method

There are many methods for wheel hub polishing, including mechanical polishing, chemical polishing and electrolytic polishing, etc. The characteristics of various methods are as follows:

1. Mechanical polishing: By using polishing machine and polishing wheel, with different particle size polishing paste, grinding and polishing the surface of the wheel hub. The advantage is that it is efficient and can quickly remove surface defects and scratches, and the disadvantage is that for complex shapes of wheels, there may be uneven polishing.

2. Chemical polishing: Use chemical solution to treat the surface of the wheel hub to achieve a bright effect. The advantage is that the operation is relatively simple and the cost is low; The disadvantage is that the chemical solution may cause some pollution to the environment, and the durability of the polishing effect is relatively poor.

3. Electrolytic polishing: Through electrolysis, the surface of the wheel becomes smooth and flat. The advantage is that very high gloss can be obtained, and the corrosion resistance of the wheel surface can be improved; The disadvantage is that the equipment cost is high and the operation technical requirements are strict.

influence

Hub polishing has a significant impact on the appearance of the vehicle:

1. Improve the appearance: the polished wheel surface is more smooth and bright, which can reflect the surrounding environment, enhance the overall texture and luxury of the vehicle, and make the vehicle more attractive in the driving.

2. Improve aesthetics and coordination: After the glossiness of the wheel hub is improved, it is more coordinated with the color and line of the body, thus improving the aesthetics and coordination of the vehicle.

Matters needing attention

1. When polishing the wheel hub, it is recommended to choose a professional manufacturer to ensure satisfactory results.

2. According to the material and condition of the wheel hub, choose the appropriate polishing method and material.

3. In the polishing process, the intensity and time of polishing should be controlled to avoid excessive polishing resulting in thinning or damage to the wheel hub surface.

4. After polishing, the hub should be protected, such as applying a layer of protective wax to prevent oxidation and corrosion.
