After realising it was getting too expensive paying someone else my hard earned money to refurbish my alloy wheels, I decided to fix this myself and also make a tutorial showing how I repaired the whole damage to show the process I used to get these battered, scratched, and kerbed diamond cut alloy wheels back to it's former glory.

This is the best video I've seen on this subject - no nonsense, no specialist tools, gives me confidence to have a go at my Merc alloys - F*****G pot-holes are a NIGHTMARE where we live - so many beautiful wheels being destroyed - no matter how careful you are going to get caught out - so this gives me hope! Thanks - and THANKS for not plastering music all over the video - kudos to you. Subd.
You are welcome mate and I also agree about potholes damaging our alloys…GRRRR!
Thank you for the kind words and hopefully you sort your alloys with this tutorial mate 💯👍🏽😎
Wow this worked. I don’t know why I trusted you when you said patience, but I listened and it freakin worked !!! Great instruction!
Nice fix, you did well to damage those wheels with those anti curb tyres,
Thanks for the video, well done! I was glad to find this video, as most others use a drill to sand out the scratches, so it's nice to know I can do it all by hand and thus limit the repair to just the areas that need it. Now all I need to do is learn how to properly parallel park!
You are welcome mate and good luck with the parallel parking cos it's hard!! 😂😂
Great video DJ Blink Blink -Very informative - definitely a lot of patience. I scratched up my new alloys but thanks you I have better idea on how to do it myself. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Daisy
You are welcome Daisy and as I said in the video, take it slow and you would be surprised how great your repair would turn out 😎. I also made a second video showing another repair on my friend's allow which you may find useful 👉 th-cam.com/video/WDZL5pUC5wQ/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for the great ideas looking forward to getting this project started. One of my wheels is trashed by my daughter, She's got her car now time to fix mine :)
You are welcome mate. I'm sure you would enjoy fixing your wheels however remember you would have to fix your daughter's wheels in future also 😂😂🤣😂
Convinced me to have a go doing mine, so a big thumbs up from me!

Thanks mate 😎😂👍🏽
Slid in the snow and banged both right side wheels of my Fourrunner off of a curb. I have followed your video with one exception- the impact left a sawtooth ridge along the tire contact point. I used a couple of needle files to smooth down the edge, then re-applied sandpaper. Ready for the lacquer application, but already looking very good, and thanks for the tips.
Comments and feedback like this make my day when I read them. I'm glad you have sorted the major part of the damage and most importantly I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed and honest feedback about my video tutorial.
Take care of you and be safe 😎💪🏾👍🏾

I must say, I'm very impressed. This video is a game-changer! 🔥 (I'm on-route to Halfords lol)
Thank you mate and good luck with your repair 😎💯🕺👍🏾
I'm going to try this this weekend. I'm glad you had the alloy and black rims that's what I have you have a great tutorial.
Thank you Afua for the honest feedback about the tutorial. Good luck with your repair and remember, slow and steady. Don't rush it, and you will have a good outcome.
P.S: If you love listening to Dido's songs, play that in the background and you will feel very relaxed as you complete the repair.
Cheers,

@@DjBlinkBlink Thanks I will. Fortunately, my rims aren't on my car, they are in my garage. I'm in MI and my winter tires/rims are still on. So I'm gonna get my folding table out and put the rim/tire on the table and pull up a chair and take my time doing this. I really liked your tip about the hot water for the spray. I watched other videos and no one recommended that. I'm excited to do this. I've only had the rims for a year and was really bummed about the scratching it on a curb. Thanks again.

Hello, you made this look so easy. I have two questions. After the sanding process is complete will the section where the repair is made look different from the rest of the wheel or will it be the same color as the rest of the wheel? Should I use touch up paint on the repair? Thank you for your time and your video. I hope you have a good day.
Just tried this on mine and it worked perfectly ! An about to see mine and saved me hundreds getting them done professionally
Brilliant Nolan. I'm glad you were able to get your wheels repaired and most importantly now you can repair any future damage to your alloy wheels without worrying about spending a lot of money from your pocket 😎💃🕺👍🏾
Good work. Being quoted £120 for a whole wheel, for a tiny bit of kerb rash, so may as well give this a go first. Thanks for the video - great instructions! Remember - back and forth, back and forth, and DO NOT LET IT DRIP!! Cheers man!
Love the way you quoted back my instructions 🤣🤣🤣.

Dear DJ Blink-Blink, what other alternatives for aluminium lacquer. I went to all paint stores here, but they don't have any
Hello mate, another alternative is "clear coat lacquer"
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink 👉 My Mix 👉 www.djblinkblink.com/ultimate-mix-album
I scratched mine on a curb a little but mine are also BMW alloys but darker grey colour, would this method be ok with darker grey colour rims? Or will I need paint?
You would most likely need a darker grey alloy spray to use after the lacquer mate
Great Video!!! what if you have those rims an inbetween there's a black gap and brushed chrome in the design?? I guess you just have to work around the blackgap right? This is my BF's name but I'm viewing your video!!
That would be very delicate to work around. It is doable BUT you must be very patient and remember to cover the parts you don't need to repair.
Personally would I attempt to do this? Yes and no. Yes if it's a small area I'm working in. No if it's a big surface area.

Just started today went from p200 to p1500 wet dry but there’s differences because it’s smooth but the diamond cut as lines like a record so I can’t get it match up hopefully after laquer it looks better
It would look way better after lacquer. Wipe it down first with water and then spirit, then spray the lacquer in one motion (left to right) while making sure the lacquer does not drip. Wait 12hrs and then respray again (remember to keep about 1/4 arms length away when spraying).
Good luck mate 😎👍🏾
DJ Blink-Blink
DJ Blink-Blink cheers I kind of used higher grit lightly over it to put the lines back into the metal in one motion that seems to match better
Fantastic!!! Keep up the good work mate cos you gat this 😎👍🏽
I have a few deep gashes. Do I use your same procedure or do I have to apply the clay ?

What is alloy wheel laquer? What is it called in the USA? Also is it gloss, semi gloss or matte?
Alloy wheel lacquer is a protective coat added to paint or metal. Also it is gloss (see example below)
e-tech.uk.com/e-tech-alloy-wheel-lacquer-400ml
Can i use that alloy spray on machine grey aka gun metal?
Yes cos it's "clear" lacquer.
Where can I get the spray can I just get it on my local auto parts store?
I got mine from eBay mate 👍🏾
What final grit did you use
Wet & dry 800 grit
does this work with black alloys aswell?
Personally I would not attempt to do this on black alloys unless I have the exact "paint" to match it afterwards
Great job! will you do it on my car ;-)
Thanks Alison...maybe lolzzz 😂
Thanks I would definitely make sure you cover up the brake discs otherwise you won't be able to stop your nice car mate
Will this work if i have black rims?
You would also need to purchase the exact spray for your rims to match it
So you sprayed only the top part of the wheel ...the sanded areas... correct? Ta
Yes mate. Just the sanded area were sprayed 😎👍🏿
@@DjBlinkBlink should it work on aluminium alloys I guess?
@@meguinness1116 no this will NOT work on aluminium rims. Only alloy wheel rims

Unfortunately I can't be responsible for the outcome of your rims. However in as much as you adhere to everything within this video and your alloy wheels are similar to what everyone within the 50 comments in this video happy with their repair, then you "should" be fine.

@Ghumman Matt Hi there. I have the same fear..lol...I was wondering if you tried this tutorial out and if so, what were your results.
I have a question for what is exactly the spray ? What happens if I do it without the spray 😅
Hello Samuel. The spray is "Lacquer" and is used to seal the wheels to keep it protected. If you don't spray lacquer on the wheels, the bare metal is exposed to the elements (wind, rain, dirt, sunlight) and you would just need to clean it regularly.
So, in summary it's not a big thing if you don't use the lacquer spray.

@@samuelwh4775 you are welcome mate. If the damage on your mum's wheel is small, then you "may" skip the lacquer step. However if the damage is not small, I would advise you buy the lacquer spray and use it as required. This would ensure you have a complete finish on the wheels.
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink
@@DjBlinkBlink thanks DJ! What happens if the lacquer drips? You said number of times don't let it drip, I am wondering what happens if it does drip ?
@@arijsyed if the lacquer drips, it would form little air pockets and bubbles on your alloy wheel.

How comes you didnt use any filler, primer and paint?
That's not necessary as you can see from the video. It's a minor repair which does not require any balancing of the wheel afterwards 👍🏾
Are these aluminium alloy rims?
No mate. They are diamond cut
whats the size of sandpaper emery cloth
the one with out water whats the size of that please
They are sold at different sizes. The one I got was 230 x 280mm. Remember, the size you get does not matter because you just need a little.

From the video at 3.00 it appears as though these wheels are diamond cut finished on the silver surface. What you've basically done is sanded off the curb rash, smoothed it out, along with the diamond cut finish and lacquered it. From a distance it might look ok but close up you'll see part of the wheel is still diamond cut and where it's been repaired just faded off to a smooth finish. Really not the way to repair a diamond cut finished wheel unless you want it to look like a £14 repair.
Paul, we are not complaining. We are happy with our £14 repair and no one would be looking at our diamond cut alloy wheels closely unless they are planning to STEAL or INSPECT the wheels for damages.
Again, thank you for your observations but we are happy with the cheap repair 😂😂
@@filmsbyimran_ that's the mission bro 😂😂🤣. I never ever allow people to get under my skin 🤣😂
Just scuffed a bit of my diamond cut alloy against a kerb god dammit
Never put spray can in boiling water, great way to make the can EXPLODE.
A good thing we are not using boiling water then yes?
I don’t have Pokémon cards. Can I still do the repair without them? 😂
Yes you can mate 😂😂
I went down to the metal. But now the clear coat will not stick to the metal
Hello mate,
Since you went all the way to bare metal, you would have to put more than just a few coats on your wheel when spraying it (make sure there are no dry or thin spots during this process). Using a high-end clear coat metal product like "Everbrite clear coating" will do the trick.
Follow this process below:
1. Apply the first coat lightly.
2. After this, you can go heavy when applying the succeeding clear coats.
Remember, wait for the first layer to dry completely before you apply the second coat.

@@DjBlinkBlink I am using the same product you got in the video. I think you are right the Eventbrite or high end clear coat, and supper thin layers.
@@casparharte yes mate. The Everbrite would 100% sort this out for you. Good luck with the repair and feel free to contact me again if you do have any further questions 👍🏾😎
So all u need is sandpaper water and the spray
And a lot of patience 😎👍🏾
should've covered the break disk and caliper with plastic or something.
If you adhere to the spraying motion (left to right or vise versa) and most importantly if you apply the lacquer from a distance as described in the video, you should not have negative effect on your brake disc or the caliper. Remember the elements (rain, salt, mud etc) land on the brake discs throughout the year and this does not have any effect on the braking system or performance as a whole.
All in all, you should be fine

What does 482 mean though? 😂

Brilliant and useless video , thanks DJ Blink Blink!
Did you mean to write "useless video" or that was a typo error? 😂
that was a typo! 🤦♂, i meant useful!!!!🤣, I've ordered the materials to fix the wheels on my car, can't wait to get rid of all the curb rash and save a tonne of cash! U the man! chop knuckle 🤜
@@interestingandnotsointeres36 correct guy!!! I guessed as much also 😂😂🤣😂
Chop knuckle brooo 👊🏿🤜🏿👊🏿
The larker lol, sellotape lmfao
But you are not showing the difference...not a damaged rim.
After 189 comments saying this video helped them to repair their damaged rims and 1,800 likes, I'm kind of wondering if you watched this video correctly? 🤔🤔
Nice, but you should have used aluminum polishing compound before spraying clear coat
No thanks. Not with this process. Also I was pleased with the end result and it’s still holding till date
@DjBlinkBlink the part you sanded looks grey and dull. The factory finish is much more shiny, looking like stainless steel finish
question ? where do you buy the alloy wheel clear lacquer from ?
Amazon mate 😎👍🏽
Very "smoot"
Thanks 👍🏼
@Dj blink in having a black alloy wheel, should I spray it with lacquer before spraying it with black paint ?
No mate. Lacquer is always applied after the paint to protect the finish...not before
