How to Repair Scratched Wheel Hubs?
1 Answers
If the wheel hub is only superficially scratched, it will merely affect the appearance without impacting the performance of the car tires. However, if the scratch exposes the primer, the affected area will wrinkle and gradually expand, potentially leading to rust and corrosion over time. If the edge of the wheel hub is scratched, it should be repaired promptly, as severe damage can cause the tire to not fit tightly, resulting in air leakage. The process for repairing scratched wheel hubs is as follows: 1. Clean the wheel hub thoroughly to remove any dirt; 2. Apply paint and oil, using tape around the scratched area to prevent accidental application to other parts; 3. After the wheel hub is completely dry, use water-resistant paper dipped in soapy water to wipe the area, polish it with a mixing machine, and then apply wax; 4. Scratched wheel hubs can be repaired, provided the damage is not severe. If the wheel hub is deformed or broken, it cannot be repaired.
