Understand the repair
What this service does
This service uses state-of-the-art CNC technology to remove a microscopic layer of the alloy surface. It is the only way to achieve the sharp, reflective finish originally found on brands like Range Rover and Bentley. Our Al Quoz workshop handles the entire process from stripping to final clear coat.

From inspection to finish
How the work is carried out
Inspect and identify
A technician inspects the wheel for structural cracks or buckles using a specialized balance rig. This ensures the rim is perfectly straight before any cosmetic machining begins.

Repair the confirmed fault
The wheel is mounted on our CNC lathe where the diamond-tipped tool meticulously cuts the face. This removes all surface imperfections while revealing the bright, raw alloy underneath.

Check the result
We apply a UV-resistant clear coat and bake the wheel in a controlled oven environment. The final check ensures the finish is smooth and free of any dust particles.
The exact procedure depends on your vehicle and inspection findings. A technician confirms the work before repair.
Why it matters
Ignoring surface damage allows moisture to penetrate the alloy, leading to deep structural rot. Over time, this can make the wheel brittle and unsafe for high-speed use.
Before you drive
Always check your tire pressure after a refurbishment to ensure the bead is sealed correctly.
