I show you how to tackle cosmetic kerb rash at home with a cordless drill, sanding discs, paint and a bit of patience, rather than automatically paying for a refurb or a replacement wheel. I cover how to check whether the damage is safe to repair, remove and clean the wheel, protect the tyre, sand the damaged lip and use filler on deeper gouges. I also explain why an angle grinder is a bad idea and where filler must never be used. I then work through smoothing, priming and painting in British weather, including the limits of diamond cut alloys. Finally, I show how to create a soft paint edge, polish the blend and refit the wheel safely with the correct tightening approach.
