Blackie Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 question for you - when you get them refurbished whats the guarantee on the quality of the work? How weather- resistant is the coating etc? and how does that compare to the stock coating from the manufacturer? My misses had her wheels sprayed black a couple of years ago and there still look very good so i went to the same bloke.Alot of my mates have had there motorbike wheels done by the same bloke so the qualitys there. I dont know if its just Wolfrace but mosture got under the alloy coating on mine and it started to flake. I think the only problem i am going to have is keeping the polished rim nice as it doesent have a coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew. I noticed that. I think it depends on the light, Itsd possible they have been resprayed but not while i have had it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Having seen the "before" at the meet I can only report positively. Anything would have been an improvement. Very smart bud. Now tell us who did 'em and get some decent sealer on the rims. Couple of products to try, Meguiars tyre stuff is very good and Rimwax is 'kin spot on. Also Megs wheel cleaner is absolutely the best I've ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yeh Halfords do them, or should anyway:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 They supply the Megs range but not the Rimwax. Demon Tweeks sell that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 £50 per wheel well spent. Nice improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
