What are the methods for wheel hub repair?

Wheel hub repair methods are: 1. Before repairing wheel hub scratches, first use tape to cover the undamaged areas; 2. After trimming the brush tip, apply touch-up paint. When the paint dries and slightly contracts, apply it slightly raised for better visibility; 3. After painting, wait approximately one week for complete drying; 4. Wipe with waterproof paper, then polish with compound to achieve shine, and finally apply wax. The wheel hub is the central part of the wheel, mounted on the axle to support the tire. It has a cylindrical shape and usually contains bearings to reduce friction. Common wheel hub types include steel rims and aluminum alloy hubs.
After years of repairing cars, I've found that the key to wheel rim restoration lies in meticulous step-by-step detailing. First, thoroughly clean the wheel rim surface to remove dust and grease, then sand the scratched areas with sandpaper; for dents, use specialized filler to level them. After allowing it to dry, finely sand again to ensure smoothness. Next, apply a primer coat as a base to enhance paint adhesion; finally, spray on the color coat and a protective clear coat to restore the factory shine. Doing the entire process yourself can save hundreds of dollars, but be sure to prepare a spray gun, sandpaper, and protective gear, and control the environment to avoid dust. Restored wheel rims not only look great but also extend their lifespan. I recommend trying it in your home garage, but ensure proper ventilation for safety. Regular wheel rim maintenance can prevent major issues and keep your beloved car shining.
