Wheel hub brushing refers to the process of repairing and modifying different types of wheel hubs through a specific technique. By using grinding products to create linear patterns on the surface of the workpiece, the wheel hub gains enhanced aesthetic appeal, a three-dimensional effect, and a personalized look after the brushing process. Additionally, this method can relatively extend the lifespan of the wheel hub, avoiding the waste of replacing damaged or chipped hubs. Wheel Hub Brushing: It is a decorative treatment method that involves repairing and refurbishing surface scratches. First, the damaged areas on the surface are addressed, followed by professional reshaping of the rim edges using a wheel hub reshaping machine. Finally, the brushing process is applied, and the wheel hub is repainted to the owner's preferred color, instantly achieving a personalized look. Owners often choose wheel hub brushing because brushed tires appear to have a dual-tone effect with a shiny surface, giving them a dynamic and sporty appearance. Wheel Hub: Also known as a wheel rim, it is the cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from the inside and is mounted on the axle. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. Due to the ability of surface brushing to highlight the texture of metal materials, it has gained increasing popularity among users and is being applied more widely.
Wheel hub brushing repair, simply put, is about restoring the brushed patterns on the surface of your car's wheel hubs, making your beloved vehicle look cooler. For example, last time I parked, I accidentally scratched the hub, which originally had a metallic brushed finish, but the scratch exposed the bare metal. Later, I found a detailing shop where they used professional tools to first polish away the scratches, then recreated the same texture with a brushing wheel, and finally applied a protective coating to prevent oxidation and rust. The entire process took about two hours and cost around 300 yuan, but the results were stunning—the hub shone like it was brand new. This repair is only suitable for aluminum alloy wheel hubs; steel ones can't be brushed. The key is to find a reliable technician with high-precision tools. Personally, I recommend not attempting it yourself, as it's easy to mess up, especially if you're inexperienced with brushing machines, which can ruin the patterns. After the repair, driving feels more confident, and friends have even commented that the car's overall appearance has been elevated.
