Bentley Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Hull

This customer called us after finding us via the internet and requiring alloy wheel refurbishment on his Bentley in Hull. As the wheels needed a cosmetic repair only, we utilised our mobile alloy wheel refurbishment service to provide a solution to repair the alloy wheels. The wheels are 20″ “Mulliner” specification alloy wheels and are a 2 piece wheel. To conduct a quality repair we carried out a split rim alloy wheel refurbishment as this is the best way to retutn the wheels to an OEM finish. The wheels were heavily kerbed which detracted from the appearance from the car, and the polished lip had also suffered corrosion.

Split rim alloy wheel refurbishment process

The wheels were removed from the car, and the tyres deflated. The wheels needed to be separated into their component parts, heat was applied to the wheels to assist in removing the bolts. Once the bolts were removed the face of the wheel was separated from the wheel centre. Once separated, the component parts were subject to an alloy wheel refurbishment. The faces were filled using a specialist aluminium filler to ensure the shape of the wheel spokes are kept. Once they had been prepared, they were given a coat of primer and cured. The primer was flattened and 2 coats of Bentley Silver applied. Once this had been cured, a coat of lacquer was applied and cured under infra red heat source. The centre of the wheel required the rim polishing, the kerb marks were taken out and the lustre fetched back to the rim using a selection of abrasives and compounds.
