Your car loses its beauty over time. The unavoidable, ever-changing
weather conditions put a considerable impact on your wheels that
makes your car looking dull and lifeless. Giving a new life to your
wheels will surely help in returning your car its charm. Moisture and
rock salt used to combat snow and ice are to blame for ruining your
expensive alloy wheels. Most car owners prefer to spend on wheels
refurbishment or repair instead of bearing hefty replacement cost. To
give your corroded or oxidised alloy wheels a great look, you have
two options - mobile repair service and wheel specialist service. The
first one is temporary in nature and is more like masking your wheel
with a cosmetic and touch-up job, while the latter serves as an
all-over coating which lasts for years. Alloy wheel repair,
refurbishment, and customisation need a lot of efforts and skills
along with specialised tools and equipment. During this process, the
tyre goes through a number of stages.
Give New Life To Your Ruined Alloy Wheels
Wheel refurbishment and customisation experts transform your alloy
wheels using various methods. Below is a rundown of three most
popular alloy wheel refurbishment finishes and services provided by
your wheel specialists in the UK:
1. Powder Coating: Under this process, the complete wheel gets a
powder coating and wet spray. Usually, this process is performed when
your wheel is severely damaged and it has kerb damage, corrosion,
scratches, buckles, cracks, chips, scuffs, and scrapes all over. Your
wheel returns to its original condition with a complete colour
change. This process cannot be performed efficiently without
specialist ovens and equipment.
2. Diamond Cutting: This process covers powder coating entirely with
one more step. This step includes removal of metal from the front
face of the wheel, using a lathe so that a classic diamond cut wheel
finish can be obtained. For this service, you can simply bring your
rims. Remember, this process cannot be performed by mobile/touch-up
service repair centres. A few points must be considered while
performing diamond cutting. What is most important is that re-cutting
is allowed up to a limited number of times only, and secondly, your
wheel can lose embossed brand name or wording (if any) during the
metal removal process, depending on the level of damage or corrosion.
3. Cosmetic or SMART Repair: When your wheel is taken for cosmetic
repairs, the specialist will check whether it is appropriate for it
or not, looking at the degree of the damages it has. After cautiously
taking off your wheel from the tyre, the affected area is freed from
wax or silicon traces. After cleaning it, final paint along with
adhesive of excellent quality is applied. After this, metal fillers
are used to repair the profile, once scrapping of damage (using
various sanding media) is over. In the end, these small chipped areas
are sanded back so that the exact colour of the alloy wheel can be
achieved. Basically, this localised repair is opted to perfectly
match the colour of the small portions of the wheel that are damaged.
The wheel specialists deal with many insurers, dealerships, body
shops, local businesses. Besides the above-mentioned services, they
offer various other services too, such as:
-

Manufacturer Matching Silvers
-
