It is necessary to repair a slightly scratched wheel hub. The steps to handle a scratched car wheel hub are: 1. Remove the wheel hub and clean the surface thoroughly; 2. Use sandpaper to smooth out the scratched areas; 3. Apply putty; 4. Spray paint on the wheel hub; 5. After the paint dries, apply a glossy finish. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected to the wheel core via spokes, and it is the metal component that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle. Methods for maintaining the wheel hub include: 1. Clean the wheel hub frequently when the vehicle is in a humid area to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. After cleaning when necessary, apply wax to the wheel hub to maintain its shine; 3. When the wheel hub is hot, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water to clean it, as this can damage the aluminum hub, deform the brake disc, and affect braking performance. Using cleaning agents on the wheel hub can cause chemical reactions on the surface, leading to loss of shine.
