25.01.2022 XXR527 reps came to us in need of some serious repairs.. It was decided with the customer that a gloss black with silver metallic flake would look best After thorough cleaning and decontamination of each wheel we proceeded to mask up the tyres (not all as some tyres got replaced) Unlike some wheel repairs we didnt grind away the damage and spray over it... the reason for this is that grinding away the outer lip can cause a sharp edge which can then lead to tyre failures... once the car is driven... And here at AutoSalon we like to do things properly the first time! Instead an automotive filler was applied to the deeper sections of damage and left to dry before being sanded down. We then applied a primer filler over the whole wheel face to fill minor imperfections. Once dry, sanded and prep wiped clean we then applied 3 layers of base coat followed by 3 layers of 2k clear coat. We could have used a rattle can but we personally dont like the results they achieve.. The inside barrel was not done on this particular job, and once finished was cleaned again to remove any overspray. The wheels will be coming back to us in the future for Wheel Coating adding ease of maintenance and reduced brake dust on the wheel Were pretty proud of this one!

22.01.2022 Cleaning wheels, how hard can it be? This is what it takes to achieve a perfect finish. If you're interested in finding out how - read on!... First step is to spray an iron dissolving wheel cleaner and give it a couple of minutes to react. (Purple reaction) Then rinse off thoroughly with high pressure water, rinsing off lots of tiny metal particles (brake dust) that would otherwise scratch the finish. Next is to re-apply the wheel cleaner and this time agitate with a variety of soft brushes and mitts. Why use a wheel cleaner twice? Mixed in with all the brake dust is what's commonly referred to as 'traffic film'. Oils, grease, exhaust soot, rubber etc. Which you can either remove with harsh chemicals or milder detergents and agitation. As always we choose the safest and most thorough option which is to clean the wheel and calliper by hand. Our wheel cleaner of choice (Nv Purge) is both an iron remover as well as a degreaser which is why it's so effective. In our wheel cleaning bucket we add (Nv Snow+) for some added lubrication and cleaning power to help suspend all the dirt. Rinse the wheel again and then it's time to remove the tar and rubber that often accumulates in the inner barrel of the wheel. Spray a tar remover of choice, ours is (CarPro TarX) and after it's had a couple of minutes to react, (Tar will look like it's melting) agitate the wheel with the same soft brushes as before until you can see the little black spots are gone. If there is any leftover adhesive from where old wheel weights were remove it with an adhesive remover, we prefer (Goof Off) Rinse thoroughly and spray a light mix of soapy water over the wheel to remove all traces of the previous chemicals. Next is the tyre and wheel arch liner! Spray the tyre with a dedicated tyre cleaner and scrub with a stiff bristled brush then rinse Spray the wheel arch with an all purpose cleaner, we use (CarPro Multi X) scrub thoroughly, then rinse. Give everything one last rinse and everything is now clean. We're still not done yet. Once everything has dried, apply your favourite tyre dressing via an applicator (Nv Onyx OMG The way it smells) and a sprayable plastic dressing for the wheel arch liner (CarPro PERL is our choice). Now you are done. #theautosalondifference Correct | Reflect | Protect
