This detachment is necessary to ensure that the vehicle body remains safe from scratches and stains.

This step is important because washing will help in removing all the unnecessary dust particles from the wheel surface. Not doing so will lead to a rough base and it may ruin the whole refurbishment process.Now you need to mask the tyre surface so that only the alloy part is visible. This will protect the tyre from getting stained. You can use masking tape for this purpose. Marking is crucial if you dont want your tyres to get any damage or stainUsing sandpaper, remove the older paint from the wheels.

The chances of lump formation will be nullifiedAfter the surface has been smoothened, you will use a filler for filling the curbing marks. The Alloy wheels UK are prone to these marks and scratches as they remain closer to the road. The filler will most probably be needed to cover the bigger marks. You can also directly paint over them. The filler usually takes 48 hours to dry. So, you need to keep the duration in mindA primer is required for the next step. You will prime the wheel surface. Shake the can well before applying and affix 2-3 layers of the primer on the wheel surface. Leave it to dry for 48 hours. The layers should be smoothly applied to avoid the lump formation or uneven layersNow comes the best part. After the primer is completely dry, you can apply the paint of your choice. We recommend buying spray cans as they are convenient to use and are efficient. Take the can and shake it well. Place your hand a little far from the wheel surface so the spraying part is done nicely. Apply several coats of the paint and wait for it to dry.This is the final step where a protective layer is required. This stage is called coating. Using a wheel sealant, coat the entire painted surface. After it has entirely dried up, you can re-install the wheel back on the vehicleNow that you know the complete procedure of OXXO Alloy Wheels refurbishment, why not try for yourself?;" ]
