Diamond Cutting in Leeds | Refurbishment Tips and How to Prevent Alloy Wheel Damage

Are you considering alloy wheel repair and refurbishment options for the first time? As a motorist in the Leeds area, you can rely on The Wheel Guru for fast, convenient and affordable services, from alloy wheel straightening to diamond cutting and powder coating. We recognise that when you purchase a new car, or your first set of alloys, you’re hypersensitive to even the smallest scuffs and bumps. In these early days, if you notice any type of surface damage, your mind immediately turns to alloy wheel refurbishment work.

However, this isn’t a bad approach. As time goes on, you might start to ignore dents and scratches on your wheels. If left untreated, these small issues can lead to much bigger problems. As with anything in life, the larger the alloy wheel repairs, the bigger the bill.

So, while you may not need to obsess over every bump you experience on the roads of Leeds, a certain amount of vigilance and proactive maintenance goes a long way to keeping your alloy wheel refurbishment costs to a minimum. In this blog, we explain how.

How to Maintain Your Alloy Wheels

Whether you’ve invested in diamond cutting work or powder coating finishes, there’s one thing to keep in mind: thorough maintenance saves you money. Simple cleaning on a regular basis not only removes dirt and abrasive elements, it also gives you the opportunity to inspect your wheels for early signs of damage.

An initial rinse cleans the surface, while a towel dry will prevent water spots from forming. Specialist alloy wheel cleaners can then help to protect your wheels’ finish. And don’t cut any corners – brake dust has a habit of collecting in wheel wells, lug nuts and between spokes.

This proactive attention ensures you stay on top of the daily demands facing your alloys as you go about your business in Leeds. In the long run, this can make all the difference between a simple alloy wheel straightening or a more extensive alloy wheel repair.

What Happens During Alloy Wheel Refurbishment?

When in the expert hands of The Wheel Guru, refurbishment work follows these basic steps.

  1. We remove the wheels and assess the damage. Our experienced professionals can then determine the scope of the alloy wheel repair work needed.
  2. We then clean your wheels of all dirt and other substances. This allows us to strip it down to the bare alloy. At this point, we can also remove more serious surface damage using CNC machinery. If requested, we can perform a diamond cutting or powder coating service.
  3. Next, we refit your wheels so that you can pick up your car and drive back to your home in Leeds. If needed, we can straighten, balance and re-torque your tyres.

Of course, every alloy wheel refurbishment or repair has its own unique qualities, so we tailor our solutions to suit your needs. You can rest assured that, whether you need an alloy wheel straightening followed by a custom finish or a comprehensive alloy wheel repair, we deliver a fully bespoke solution.

If you visit our Leeds workshop for a diamond cutting, we request that you let us know how many times you’ve had the same process performed. Each cut removes a layer of alloy from the wheel’s face, so we can only perform it a finite number of times.

This does not apply to powder coating or painted finishes.
