Say Goodbye to Curb Rash: Alloy Wheel Scuff Removal in London & Essex
Scuffed your alloys on a sneaky curb? You’re not alone. Whether it was a tight parallel park or a run-in with a pothole, wheel scuffs are one of the most common (and frustrating) cosmetic issues drivers face.
But is scuff removal right for your wheels — and how does it actually work? In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process, what damage it can fix (and what it can’t), how much it costs, and when it’s better to choose a full refurbishment instead.
Based in London & Essex, we’ve helped thousands of drivers bring their wheels back to life. Here’s everything you need to know.
Is Scuff Removal Right for My Wheels?
Scuff removal is a targeted cosmetic repair for:
- Curb rash around the rim edge
- Light scratches and grazes on the spokes
- Surface-level scrapes and paint transfer
We’re talking about cosmetic damage — not deep cracks or structural issues. If your wheel isn’t bent or cracked, scuff removal is usually all you need to get it looking like new.
🛠️ What’s Included?
| Step | What We Do |
|---|---|
| 1. Full Check-Up | We inspect the wheel for cracks, bends, or hidden damage. |
| 2. Prep & Sanding | We remove scuffed areas, feather the surface, and smooth it out. |
| 3. Paint & Colour Match | Factory-matched paint is applied to restore a uniform look. |
| 4. Clear Coat Finish | A lacquer is added for gloss, protection, and durability. |
| 5. Dry & Polish | The wheel is cured, cleaned, and buffed for a flawless finish. |
We use high-grade materials and colour-matching techniques to ensure a seamless repair — even on custom or OEM finishes.
