Alloy Wheel Refurbishment FAQs
Answers to the questions we're most often asked about durability, finishes, timings and aftercare.
How long does alloy wheel refurbishment take?
Most cosmetic alloy repairs take between 1–2 hours per wheel, depending on the level of damage and finish required. We'll give you a clear estimate before starting any work, and mobile repairs are planned to minimise disruption to your day.
How durable is the refurbished finish?
We use high-quality automotive coatings designed to withstand everyday road use. With normal driving and basic care, your refurbished alloys should remain looking sharp for years. Avoid harsh chemicals and jet washers held too close to the wheel surface.
Can you match my existing alloy colour?
Yes. We use professional colour systems and experience with a wide range of OEM finishes to closely match your existing alloy colour and gloss level. For full set refurbishments, we can also recommend alternative finishes if you're looking for a new look.
Will the tyres be removed from the wheels?
For many mobile cosmetic repairs, tyres remain on the wheels but are carefully masked to protect them. For more extensive work, we may recommend off-vehicle refurbishment – we'll always explain the best approach for your wheels.
Can you repair cracked or heavily damaged alloys?
Our service focuses on cosmetic repairs to the face and rim of the wheel. If we suspect structural damage, cracks or distortion, we will not carry out cosmetic-only repairs and will advise on safe alternatives.
How should I look after my refurbished wheels?
Allow the finish to fully cure as advised by your technician, then wash using a pH-neutral wheel cleaner, soft brushes and non-abrasive cloths. Avoid automatic car washes and strong acidic cleaners, and rinse any road salt away promptly in winter.
Case Study: Premium Alloy Refurbishment
A closer look at how we transformed the wheels of a high-end vehicle for a Bristol client preparing to sell.
Vehicle & Challenge
A Bristol-based owner of a premium saloon was preparing the car for sale. All four diamond-cut-style alloys had noticeable kerb damage, lacquer peel and staining that were dragging down the vehicle's overall appearance.
- 4 x 19-inch alloys with kerb rash and cosmetic corrosion
- Client required a fast turnaround before photography
- Work needed to be completed at the client's home
Our Approach & Results
We carried out a same-day mobile refurbishment, carefully preparing and refinishing each wheel in a high-gloss OEM-style silver. Edges were reshaped, damage was blended out and the final lacquer coat delivered a deep, uniform gloss.
- Complete cosmetic transformation in a single visit
- Alloys looked clean, sharp and consistent in photos
- Client reported faster sale and positive buyer comments
