Question

hiya,

does anyone know of a good place for alloy wheel refurbishment, ideally in the midlands?

I have tried 'spit and polish' but they said it would take FIVE days!!!!!!!

ta,
Matt.

Try Lepsons...Don`t have the number but you can get it from directory enquiries.
The used to offer a same day service.
They also collect on Tuesday and deliver back on Thursday I think.

If your any good with a can of spray paint and some wer & dry, I can reccomend a new product! HALFORDS now do an alloy wheel refurbishing kit! You get a tube of superglue gel, some superglue activator spray, 4 small cans of silver wheel paint and some wet & dry paper. I refurbed three of my 17" Evo 'R's with this, and they look as good as new! I did have to put a coat of laquer on top, just to give that extra shine!

The kit costs £25 - So is easily worth a try!
If all goes pear shaped, at least you tried!!!

My mate has just done his for his Evo6 and spent 80 quid.

I'll find out where from.
