Step 1 - Remove

If you've bought your vehicle to us, we’ll jack your vehicle up, place it on axle stands and remove your wheels. Once your wheels are inside the workshop, we'll remove your tyres and valves, getting them ready for stripping.

Step 2 - Strip

Now your alloys have had the tyres and valves removed. We can start prepping them for paint. Your alloys are stripped using Rolling Rims unique chemical mixture, which removes all paint and grime, even from hard-to-reach areas.

Step 3 - Prep

Once your alloys are done soaking, they are moved to our steam cleaning bay. This allows us to remove all residue from the alloys ensuring they are ready for the next steps. If your alloys are damaged, we’ll need to sand them down, weld and then media blast. Depending on the damage, we may need to fill some areas to get a level surface before painting.
