Repair Guidelines

 

Wheel scratches repair specific operational guidelines:

1) Minor scratch (only the topcoat paint is damaged, with no metal exposure)
Clean the wheel hub: Thoroughly wash the scratched area with soapy water or wheel hub cleaner, remove oil stains, and let it dry
2) Smooth and even:
After wetting, use 2000-3000 grit sandpaper to polish the scratches in circular motions until the surface is smooth and free of burrs
Wipe away residual dust with alcohol
3) Spray Repair:
Apply a specialized primer to enhance adhesion, then thin-spray 2-3 layers of the same color hub paint (with a 5-10 minute interval between each layer) after drying
Covered with transparent varnish for protection, naturally dry within 24 hours
4) Finishing Polishing: Gently sand the surface with 2000-grit sandpaper, then restore the luster with polishing compound, takes about 2 hours
Moderate damage (metal exposed or indentation ≤0.5mm)
5) Fill the depression: Apply body filler to the scratch, let it harden, and then sand it smooth with 1500-grit sandpaper
Professional Sandblasting: CNC sandblasting removes oxidation layers to ensure surface cleanliness. 36
6) Multi-layer coating: Three spray and three bake process (primer + color paint + clear varnish), with each layer baked and cured
7) Dynamic balance inspection: Must be performed after repair, with a deviation of ≤5g to prevent driving vibration
Cost: 300-800 RMB per unit, including a 6-month warranty
8) Severe damage (hub replacement required)
Immediate Discontinuation: Repair is prohibited under the following circumstances:
Crack length > 2cm or depth exceeding 30% of the substrate
Deformation causes dynamic balance deviation >15g or electroplated layer corrosion >30%
Replacement Suggestion:
Choose original factory wheels of the same size to avoid compromising driving safety.
