What does full alloy wheel refurbishment include?

It typically includes inspection, removal of the old finish, preparation of suitable cosmetic damage and application of the agreed new finish. Additional repairs are assessed separately.

Can you refurbish just one wheel?

Yes. Be aware that an older finish on the other wheels may have changed, so an exact visual match cannot always be guaranteed.

Will refurbishment remove corrosion?

The process removes the existing finish and prepares accessible corrosion. Deep damage or structural concerns may require additional assessment.

Can I change from silver to another colour?

Yes. Powder-coated and custom colour options can give the wheels a completely different appearance.

How do I maintain refurbished wheels?

Clean them regularly with pH-neutral products, soft tools and cool water. Avoid strong acids and abrasive brushes.

What this service does

Full refurbishment removes the worn finish, prepares appropriate surface damage and rebuilds the appearance of the wheel. It is the most complete route when a quick local repair would leave inconsistent colour or corrosion behind.

The correct process depends on whether the wheel has a painted, powder-coated or diamond-cut finish. After inspection, the old finish is removed, suitable cosmetic damage is prepared and any agreed repair work is completed. The wheel is then refinished using the selected system and checked for consistency.

When it may be suitable

Corrosion, peeling lacquer and widespread finish deterioration
Multiple scuffs or scratches across the wheel
Changing the colour of a complete wheel set
Combining suitable repair work with a fresh final finish

Refurbishment restores appearance and can incorporate appropriate repairs, but it does not make every structurally damaged wheel serviceable. Repairability is assessed first.

Full refurbishment or local repair?

A small local repair may suit isolated cosmetic damage. Full refurbishment is often better where corrosion, widespread marks, previous poor repairs or colour inconsistency affect the whole wheel.

Matching an existing wheel

Age, cleaning products and exposure can change the appearance of an older finish. If an exact match matters, completing wheels as a pair or full set may produce a more consistent result.
