Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Process

Partial Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Process

In situations where an alloy wheel has received only minor kerb damage, scuffs or scratches, it is possible to repair just the damaged area of the wheel with the wheel attached and in situ. This type of repair is very cost-effective, quick and convenient, when budget and time are of the essence.

The process is as follows:

The wheel is thoroughly cleaned, removing as much dirt and contaminants as possible.
The tyre itself is masked off to protect it for the repair process, then the damaged area is sanded to smooth-out any irregular edges or sharp, high points.
Fillers are then applied to build up the area which has been gouged by the initial contact, raising it back up to a level surface.
When the filler is set it is once again smoothed out by light sanding. This is followed by applying a layer of primer.
The wheel is then re-sprayed to match the rest of the wheel.
Once this is cured, a lacquer is applied to add extra protection and gloss.

Full Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Process

The process is as follows:

The wheel is removed from the vehicle
The tyre and any balancing aids are also removed
As above, the damaged areas are assessed, sanded, primed, painted and lacquered, but this time the alloy barrel, as opposed to just the alloy face, is also completely treated, ensuring a full rear-to-front repair of the alloy.

The pictures below show a selection of before and after images of minor damage and fully repaired alloys, with very pleasing results.

Alloy wheel repairs – new service

multi_matt — Tue, 16 May 2017 15:04:44 +0000

We are pleased to announce our new, official alloy repair services:

ALLOY WHEEL REPAIRS

The majority of modern cars feature alloy wheels in a range of colours or styles, such as diamond cut or gloss finish. The only downside to this technology is that they can be prone to wheel scuffs, kerb damage or impact damage, which can greatly affect the overall appearance of your car. In fact, aesthetically, many vehicles are let down by unsightly alloys – particularly frustrating when you wish to sell your car.

However, at JM Valeting and Detailing we are able to carry out full wheel refurbishments or partial repairs to individual or full sets of wheels. This can be done in-house with us or even mobile depending on your requirements.

We have over 10 years of collective experience in alloy wheel repairs and bodywork repairs, and most of the work can be undertaken in a half day or day depending on the complexity of the job, so this ensures you won’t without your car for as long as is necessary.
