Has anyone stripped alloys of paint/lacquer at home? Any recommendations on what is good? I have a polished set that need the lacquer removing, sanding down to remove the imperfections and then polish it back up to a nice shiney wheel and finally re-seal them.
Hey people
I took out alloy protection on my C class coupe but was wondering how many times can I change my alloys (they are diamond cut)
Is it 4 alloys a year or 4 alloys for the 2 year lease ?
Thanks guys
They will need a refurb, but 4 of the wheels have almost new tyres, 5th has around 4mm.
I'm after £600 and don't mind travelling to meet with the inclusion of fuel costs. I will not be take anything less than £600.

Has anyone here fitted alloy wheel rim protectors. noticed some just stick on and others fit around the lip of the rims.
Are these worth having as they look pretty smart in the range of colours available.
Good morning all, I trust you're all fit and well.
My manufacturers warranty ends next month and one of my alloys is starting to shred its laquer as well as all 4 centre caps. Has anyone experience of such a claim?
Are they covered and if so do you have to put up with much of a fight with...

Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone had any window tinting & alloy wheel refurb places they could recommend in the Essex/East London area?
I normally like to go on good recommendations with these sort of things!
Thanks
After having recently bought an slk350 (r171) I suffered a blow out on the motorway yesterday which was the result of a badly refurbed alloy. I am currently trying to source a new alloy for the rear of the slk but as I am a mercedes newbie I was looking to see if someone could help me out with...
An attractive design, R129 / W210 option from the late 90's, I believe.
Despite a minor 3" curbing, it looks quite good. A good quality refurbishment not so long ago. The Michelin Primacy is "right upon the cusp of legality".
£50.
Could courier cheaply, for the non-local.
Hi,
I have managed to curb one of my alloys on my C Class Coupe.
Question is, are they diamond cut alloys or just painted? They are the standard 7 spoke 18" alloys that come with the AMG Sport model. Any help would be great.
And if so, any suggestions of anywhere to get them done in the...

I have spent the day taking the wheels off my recently acquired E350 Bluetec to see how worn the pads are as the car has covered nearly 42,000 miles in its first year.
