Alloy wheel refurbish

Post by Nanu » Mon May 22, 2017 7:57 pm

Just found a slight scuff on one of my alloys. :x Not enough to warrant a full refurb but wondered if there is such a thing as a touch up kit?

If you Google "alloy wheel refurbishment kit" there's a whole raft of different products, all of which seem to be broadly the same. I have never used any of them.

Whilst not entirely unbiased I though that this article was quite interesting:

You can't fault them really, list to the enth degree how to touch up your wheels, put 95% of the people off even bothering to try, wait for the phone to ring. As they say good business is where you find it... :lol:
