Frequently Asked Questions

While our work depends on the nature of the damage, our repairs
often follow the below steps.

• We assess the damage to the wheel and compile a report. This indicates what is required to restore the correct factory finish.
• We check the wheel’s run out, straighten and true 
up the wheel where necessary.
• The wheel is then washed to remove any basic surface grime that may prevent achieving a true finish.
• We recreate the original finish and texture by sanding, machining, sandblasting or polishing where required.
• Any chips and small imperfections on the wheel surface are removed by hand.
• We follow this up with painting, machining and clear coating or polishing, depending on the client requirements.

Finished wheels then undergo a final check before we notify the client.

Work will vary from vehicle to vehicle, and the extent of the repairs required. However, a general refurbishment looks like this:

1. Clean the wheels to remove any dirt, brake dust, or debris from the surface
2. Remove the previous finish
3. Check for damage like dents, scratches, damages to the wheel
4. Sand the wheels to remove any imperfections and create a clean and even surface
5. Apply a primer specifically for alloy wheels
6. Apply the new colour and finish with multiple thin coats
7. Apply a clear coat to protect the wheel.
