Alloy wheel repair kit

Now I am sure you serious detailers will have a fit about such a product but I only have a few small scuffs to make prettier and I really don't have the cash to spend on a full wheel refurb. What do you think of this? Any other similar products you could recommend?

It will look like a touch up not a proper repair... Why not just get a local mobile wheel refurber around. Will cost £50-60 a wheel most likely but it will be done properly.

I agree.
I got a set of 4 alloys refurb'd locally for the E430.
They were pretty rough and none of the tyres would seal because of corrosion on the tims.
£45 per wheel.
Shot-blasted and painted.
Looks good and the tyres stay up.

I second that. Get them refurbed

Thanks for honest feedback - looks like it'll be a refurb: gonna have to save some pennies.

For this kind of money, you could get a full refurb on the wheel rather than just a "smart" type face repair.
