What type of wheels are on your car are they Diamond cut, painted or polished edge??
Teh tyres are right skinny .. best tyres are 18'' not too thick and not too skinny
I work at a wheel repair shop and yes if you don't want to spend the money on your rims this is a easy cheap way, but just remember not to sand to much off as it's very easy to do and it will now have a polished look not machine look. Not knocking your repair, as I said it's a easy cheap repair
una vera porcata….
good way to destroy the balance of the wheel but it looks pretty.
Just get the wheel recut for the best quality.
how does the clear stick to alloy wheels, most r alum and u need an etch coat for paint to stick.just asking??
I've been repairing wheels for ages but this was an eye opener. Quick clean and easy I'm going to knick some of your ideas chers
Is it safe with this method on these completely polished aluminium rims? I have those rims but with curb rash. https://www.jaguar-shop.com/WebRoot/Store22/Shops/62413452/56BC/746F/D745/20AE/F313/C0A8/2ABA/91F2/IMG_7626.JPG
This is no repair, this is sanding the scratches away. So now there is a low spot on the place of the scratches.
u scuffed the wheel and put clear over it? wont it be visible when its dry? or does the clear "clear " the scuffed spots too?
Diamond cut….u mean cnc. LOL
First masking off with ducktape, then when the ducktape is destroyed you leave it like that. And what about the thin line between rim and tire?
Hey M4M, I just did this tutorial and it worked great! I think I keyed the polished lip a bit too much though and the scratches show underneath. Is the polished lip supposed to be keyed or just done lightly? I've still got 3 wheels to go!
Thanks for sharing,
You have saved me from waisting $600 dollars to repair my wheels.
I got a 2000 TL can do the whole wheel like that
Close to a $1,000 job. Looks great at 8 feet!
