A diamond cut finish is a precision wheel restoration process that uses a CNC lathe to remove a fine layer of metal, revealing a smooth, mirror-like surface. This process restores wheels to a factory-fresh look.
Since each diamond cutting process removes a thin layer of metal, wheels can only be cut a limited number of times (typically 2-3 times) before they become too thin and unsafe.
With proper maintenance, a diamond cut finish can last several years. However, harsh weather, brake dust, and curb impacts can affect its longevity.
To maintain the finish:

Yes, we can refinish, re-cut, and re-lacquer your wheels to remove curb rash, scratches, and oxidation. If your wheel is heavily worn or has been cut multiple times, we may recommend an alternative repair method like powder coating.
No, as long as the wheel has not been cut too many times, the process does not compromise structural integrity. We always inspect wheels before cutting to ensure safety.
Ceramic ball polishing is a wheel restoration technique that uses high-speed vibration polishing and ceramic media to create a flawless, high-gloss finish without the need for coatings or paints.
Diamond cutting uses a CNC lathe to remove a layer of metal for a sharp, defined look, while ceramic ball polishing smooths and polishes the entire wheel for a deep, mirror-like shine without cutting.
Since no coatings are applied, the shine can last for years with proper care, but it may require periodic polishing and maintenance to keep it looking fresh.
No, ceramic polishing is a refinishing process, not a repair method. If your wheels have deep scratches or curb damage, we may need to repair or refinish them first before polishing.
This process is best suited for bare metal alloy wheels and works exceptionally well on classic, performance, and show car wheels.

Powder coating is a durable wheel refinishing process where a fine electrostatically charged powder is applied to the wheel and then baked in an oven, creating a tough, chip-resistant finish.
Powder coating is extremely durable and can last several years, offering better protection against chipping, corrosion, and fading compared to traditional paint.
Yes! Powder coating offers a wide range of colours, textures, and finishes—including gloss, matte, satin, and metallic.
Powder coating is superior to traditional paint because it:
No, the coating is thin and evenly applied, ensuring no impact on performance.
Yes, but repairs depend on the extent of damage. Minor scratches can be polished out, but deep damage may require re-coating.
Yes! Powder coating is suitable for alloy and steel wheels, making it a popular choice for both daily drivers and high-performance vehicles.
