    This video is exactly what I needed to fix my wounded A6. My scrape was about the size of yours but all the way home I'm sure everybody I passed saw nothing but what I did to my beautiful car. Thank you.

    Curbed my new Mustang GT last night. About the same amount of damage as your Audi wheel. Was a tad bummed out. Feeling much better about it after watching your vid. Much appreciated.

    Clipped a curb today in my S5 and I'm pretty bummed to say the least. Mine looks like about as much damage as yours was so I'm thankful for your video. I think I can managed this repair now

    I have aftermarkets of 19" oems on my A3 that I curbed. Hadn't thought about fixing them since they are cheap aftermarket but your video gives me the thought of I got nothing to lose but try it. I do have some sandpaper laying around since I tried buffering out a scruff I made on my wrist watch. Need polisher though.

    I have my new Audi Q5 a month. I have just had the car and wheels ceramic coated. Oh! BTW have the upgrade 20" alloys. 10 minutes ago I curbed the front left alloy😭 - similar damage to yours. I can't remember the last time I have curbed an alloy 🙈 I am so glad that you have put this video up. Really good job - wish me look in the repair 👍

Is I have an Audi SQ5 with 21 inch wheels and I just got a little road rash on my right rear rim. Ugh. So this will help. Thanks for the vid and great job

    Very informative video for a quick fix but how will you seal the alloy (lacquer spray)?. Or else the water could deposit on the metal and cause corrosion.

    A good clear video with a good result. Now my issue is that my curb rashed wheel rim is painted over the alloy. I guess some careful painting following the scuff clean-up is all that is required?

  • @locorudy626
    @locorudy626 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You can blend it with a very light coat of a coarse metalic silver.. jusy requires a lot more prep work but results are 90% less noticable than a sand and polish... except for the flakes but the reflection and patern of the diamond cut blend well.. did thousands of repairs on all type of wheels..

  • @rfel87
    @rfel87 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I have similarly designed wheels... So each step u fast forwarded through 1) what sandpaper did u use each time and finish with? And 2) were u wet sanding each time or only at the very end?

    • @MODIT
      @MODIT  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Correct really easy just go slow and you can always use stronger grit tho it's better to start with a finer grit just to be on the safe side.

    • @halifax5309
      @halifax5309 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      MOD-IT u still haven’t answered his questions lol what sandpaper’s did you work with?

    • @mrtriple2414
      @mrtriple2414 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hali Fax Yes, usefully he would answer, but it’s not transferable to a different rash. You need to choose grit empirically, that’s what he meant by if anything start too fine. Start too fine, then lower the grit number until it will just cut out the damage. Then go higher / finer to remove evidence of last grit scratches. Don’t skip a grit, just work steadily up the series once the rash is gone. If you go too fine / shiny, go back a grit until the finish just matches the virgin finish.
      In U.K. we would have to lacquer it. Salt / water would produce white oxidation bloom fast.

      Not trying to step on your toes MOD-IT but they are actually machined finish wheels with a clear coat on top.
      The inserts are painted but the actual face of the rim is machine finish, cut on a lathe machine.
      Take care.
