What are some good places in wellington to get scratches and kerb marks from your wheels? and maybe also polish alloy wheels?

cheers for any info.

yeah that looks all good but im not to good at the DIY projects lol, find it better to pay soemone who knows what they are doing lol.

as the picture shows in there, mine are probably abit worse than that. i take it that its still possible to get them repaired?, rather than replaced?.

anyone had experiance with getting kerbed wheels fixed?

took them to a place that sandblasts trucks 4 painting them, then took them onto another place that does painting an shit an they powder coated them.
pends how deep the damage is, most of my wheels had marks on them the sandblasting took some out with the layer of powdercoating on top an the rest are pritty hard to see, pends how many wheels, and what kind/style they are

No, he'd take a couple of days to do it. If anyone offers to do it while you wait, walk away.
