What is Refurbishment?
Alloy wheel refurbishment is a process of repairing alloy wheels into a new lease of life. As alloys are prone to damage and scraping through day-to-day driving, refurbishment is the alternative method over buying expensive new alloys by restoring the damaged ones to an almost-new condition.
During the process, the wheel is removed and the alloy is placed in our mobile alloy wheel lathe machine – Where a thin layer of the surface is removed.
Final touches – The paint can be colour-matched to your existing wheels or altered to a colour of your choosing. Once the paint is applied and set, the wheel is lacquered to a high-gloss finish before being cured and polished.
The Alternative to New Alloys
Alloy wheel refurbishment services are ideal when you see your alloys scraped, scratched or scuffed. Repairing these imperfections through refurbishment is much cheaper than a purchase of brand-new alloys and is more popular as an option with drivers.
Refurbishment is impossible in some circumstances – especially when the wheels are too badly damaged. If your wheels are extremely corroded beyond repair, distorted, severely cracked or buckled, your best option is to buy new alloys, as refurbishment will not fix the problem.

How Long Does It Take?
