Great video. Thank you. I had two wheels to repair. What I did learn after the first one was to use painters tape to mask the rim right up to the closest edge of the "rash" before and during sanding. This will avoid removing or scratching the clear coat anywhere other than the area you want to sand. Otherwise, no matter how carefully you sand, you will sand some small scratches on parts of the rim that were perfect before you started, and unintentionally enlarge the area of your repair. I wanted to minimize the area that I had to spray with clear coat and this method kept that area as small as possible.

I bought a car yesterday and I'm already watching this video 😂

Concise, practical and easy to apply steps to restore allow wheels! Great clip.

Great clip, gave me confidence in what I intend to repair.
1- just need to be bit slower when spraying and try have 15 to 20cm away.
2- use masking tape not cellotape.
3- you will need grey wool or 1500 to 2000grit sandpaper.
My views, my opinion.

Do I need to use lacquer for my super shiny polished rim or after removing all damages polish is enough?

[tanyabattaglia]

How long did the whole process take? minus the 12 hours for spray

[aprustum]

Bravo I have the same car and the same wheels I live in Italy I wanted to know what products you used thanks

[tanyabattaglia]

we live in the US does acrylic lacqure work just the same?

[BigindaGame]

Yo blink blink bruv, after removing the curb damage, how do you blend the spray can lacquer, which is normally 1K with the original factory finish which is 2k I assume as it's much thicker. Surely it can't work and you’ll still see the edges where it's been sanded?

I had my alloy wheel gutter rash repair but then the repairer repaint the whole alloy, it no longer has that nice gloss finish look anymore like the other OEM alloy wheels, does the alloy wheel lacquer would help achieve the gloss on a repainted rim?

Trying to fix scratch in Toyota Camry 2021 LE wheel but I don’t know which paint or colour to use 🤔

[indubhushan]

This product is not available on Amazon in India. Can u suggest similar product for Indian?

[AKGamersLite]

I have tried this method and it seems to have smoothed out the damage but it has caused the grey coating to come off and i now have silver and black marks on my alloy. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

Hello DJ, I just bumped into your videos and now i am a BIG fan of yours :) Just one question I have, I live in Germany and I am not able to find the equivalent product of the "Alloy Wheel Lacquer". Is it the "clear varnish" spray ? (We refer to it here as Klarlack)
