- In this video Coachbuilder Chris Runge explains a technique he uses for polishing aluminum. The aluminum is .063” 3003 that has been annealed, hammered and wheeled prior to sanding. The product is Nuvite F7.

Man these videos are awesome, I'm a young guy just learning welding now, I'd always dreamed of making my own car but never really thought it was possible but after seeing your work I'm inspired
Nice video. Polishing was quicker than I expected. Just sand and buff twice. : ) Mahalo for sharing!
I always enjoy these videos. I may never be able to build my own car but, besides being interesting, they inspire me with my own art. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Love the updates. Do a video update on which car you're working on now and fill the gaps since your last big update video. Love the tips though. I feel like this channel should be at least at 2 mil.
I feel like Tim Allen watches your work and grunts with approval. Great job Chris, I would love to see more.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge
Very nice. Do a video about your fancy Air Compressor, and a shop tour.
Excellent video
Runge R2 is so beautiful
must try this on old bike plastics
I've always figured polishing aluminium of all the soft metals is a bit of an art. You can polish it, yes, but only those who've done it till their hands bleed, have figured out how to get it just perfect, that smooth surface that doesn't have imperfections, doesn't show grains, and in the light, makes the item/object you've polished, almost shimmer.
I definitely started with an easy work piece in this video. I will do another where I’ll polish out welds in the fenders. The majority of the process is the same with the exception of more sanding work...
Simply beautiful!! How do you keep the polished aluminum from oxidizing?
Great work and most folks would be too timid to take that course of a grit to that pretty surface but it does save time and even it out. I have a question I have asked a couple times but never heard back. Since these cars are not kits and not rebuilds how do you title these to be registered? Thanks!
Thanks
What kind of chassis do you use? BTW your cars are so cool!
How fast does it oxidize and go dull afterward? Do you use any coatings to prevent oxidation?
I didn't hear you say. But people should know the finer the sand paper or buffing pad you use, use Less pressure as you go.
GOSTO DE VER O SEU SERVIÇO, VOCÊ ESTÁ DE PARABÉNS ! QUAL CHAPA
Can't argue with that sir!!nice finish!i wouldn't do it that way myself🤔but there's loads of ways to skin a cat as you've just demonstrated👍😀good job sir😀
Love your work, i was wondering (I know you said it in another video but I can’t find it), what’s the size of the aluminium sheets you used on the FF001?
Thank you. As mentioned in the video description... .063” 3003 H14👍🏻
RÜNGE CARS thanks a lot, stay safe.
O.K. Polishing aluminium is a pretty well known process but, as I asked before, how do you KEEP you costly bespoke car shiny? Do you have to polish it a couple of times a year for it to shine or do you just let it oxydize slowly to a matt grey? Thanks for the video.
what pad did you use on angle polisher
Your respirator is missing the particulate filter pad that go over the organic filters along with the plastic caps that hold them in place. You are NOT protecting yourself. A p100 filter would be even better.
GOSTO DE VER
I guess the finish comes down to the quality of the Aluminum, I know from experience from the various motorcycles Ive own European alloys ( Ducati, Moto Guzzi and Laverda) were always far better quality then American, referring to my numerous Harley's Ive owned.
Can you give some advice how to remove paint from an aluminium body before polishing it? I have a Caterham and I want to strip the paint and polish it
I know the aircraft guys use a specific stripper that's safe for aluminum. I do not know exactly what it's Called though. I bet "Aircraft Spruce" would have some info!
Thank you. Probably it depends on the quality of the paint too
ALUMÍNIO DE 3MM ?
the sound is very low
My Apologies, we've now got a Mic setup for future videos...
You can use wd40 for a better shine while sanding...it s a hack
Elon would most definitely benefit with you on his design team...
Imagine a polished “StarShip” !
I like the look of aluminium and stainless steel and such, but I think polished aluminium is silly. It's so tacky, plus it's distracting and blinding which can be a safety hazard.
It would be good to see the techniques in real time rather than speeded up. Thanks for the videos.
Great video but I wish you would adjust your audio
My apologies, the audio was adjusted and double checked in editing. We’re finding it working well on mobile devices but not desktop...? I tried to adjust in CZcams editor and there’s no option.
@ I hope I didnt come across as sarcastic because I didn't mean to. Part of my frustration is that I don't hear very well, I'm 66 and not getting any younger. I have a laptop I watch your video's fed to my TV. I've noticed some channels are very loud and some very low, I wish CZcams would get things sorted. Wouldn't you think with the technology they have this wouldn't be an issue?
@@toolmike100 not at all! I’ve had a few people suggest this. I’m trying to learn this video editing stuff here as I go... My daughter is working on getting a microphone to fix the problem!
Look into a lapel mic, it will help with the narration. I applaud you for turning down the audio while the machines are running, many others do not.

Why polish, blind all other road users ...
Not true. Ever been blinded by a polished Stainless dairy truck? Didn’t think so. The car has no flat surface for reflection to actually work the way you claim it would. Unlike say, the flat windshield of a Jeep Wrangler or G wagen which both are know to cause dangerous reflections from the sun (I know, I’ve owned them). Here’s a tip, take a compound curved piece of polished aluminum, go out on a nice sunny day and see how that reflection hits you...
@ Excellent
@ Just look at an airstream trailer, no blinding
