Can Aluminum Alloy Wheels Be Repaired?

[BarrettAnn]

Aluminum alloy wheels with minor deformations can be repaired. Below is an introduction to the methods for repairing car wheels: 1. First, inspect the scratches on the wheel: If the scratches are minor or have not damaged the inner side of the wheel, the owner can use paint thinner for a simple repair. Simply wiping the area around the scratch to remove dirt can achieve a certain level of repair. Although it won't be as good as a new wheel, it can save a significant amount of money. 2. Different approaches should be taken based on the size of the scratch: If the owner finds that the scratch is too deep, they should first check whether the metal surface is exposed. If the metal surface is visible, the owner should take the wheel to a repair shop for professional repair. If the metal is not visible, rusting won't occur. The owner should first remove the dirt and then slowly apply touch-up paint. The car can only be driven normally after the paint has completely dried. Afterward, the wheel should be cleaned weekly. 3. Wax should be applied after wheel repair: After applying the paint, use a polishing compound to restore the shine, then apply the appropriate wax to achieve a bright and shiny wheel.
