BMW 6 Series Gets a Diamond Cut Makeover

At Diamond Alloys we believe that all alloy wheels need TLC, either with regular care and cleaning or with a wheel refurbishment. Customer Daniel Tavernier recently popped in to Diamond Alloys to have his BMW 6 series rims repaired and refurbished with painted inserts and a Diamond Cut.

The alloys were not in bad condition, but with minor repairs eradicated in our prep room before a powder coat, the results were still stunning. Our guys refurbished the rims with a Mercedes Blue Grey paint and completed the look with a Diamond Cut and lacquer layer which accentuated the design of the alloy perfectly.

Daniel was very pleased with the results when he collected his car this week, saying, “I’m really happy with my wheels and the time they were completed in, my wheels look brand new!”

We are delighted that Daniel was so happy with the transformation; they certainly are the finishing touch for his 6 series BMW.

If you want to achieve a new look for your alloy wheels, call Diamond Alloys today on 0845 370 8881 and we will be able to advise quote for a wide range of services.

Protecting your wheels – tips and tricks

Leave a reply

Once you’ve cleaned your wheels and rims thoroughly, you’ll want to make the most of your hard work by sealing the rim – something you should do every three months. Your first step is to buy a sealant that’s suited to use on wheels – if you’re unsure of which to use, there are plenty of useful forums and articles on the internet that will provide guidance.

When you’ve selected a sealant, coat the rim thoroughly and leave it to dry. Once dried, buff the surface with a clean microfibre cloth before repeating the process two or three times.

After this, it’s time to give your tyres some love. Use a foam applicator pad to coat your tyres in a water-based dressing, which will nourish the rubber and improve the way it looks.

Once this is done, you’re ready to re-attach your wheels. Experts recommend applying copper grease to the thread of each wheel nut before re-attachment, to help you achieve a smoother fit. Once all the wheels are on, and the car has been lowered back down to the ground, tighten the wheel nuts using a torque wrench, then stand back to admire your handiwork. It might be time for a cup of tea, too!

Diamond Alloys Customer says ‘WOW’ after his Alloys are Refurbished.

There is no better recommendation than direct from a client, and we were delighted when Nik Garrad came to collect his Chevrolet alloys and said ‘WOW!’

Nik’s alloys were a standard silver colour which he felt could be improved with a new look. Nik requested a satin black standard paint finish with the added detail of orange rim bands to co-ordinate with his car and add the extra detail he was looking for. Not only do they look great, but the rim bands add extra protection to the rims ensuring they last longer against every day wear and tear which can occur when parking close to high kerbs.

Take a look at these alloys wheels which client David Jones brought in to our London wheel repair centre. As you can see his Nissan wheels were badly corroded, in fact perhaps some of the worst our guys had ever seen! However, with a dip into our acid bath, a thorough clean and some careful preparations the wheels were already on their way to looking good. To ensure a sound and smooth surface was achieve, the wheels were powder coated several times.

Unfortunately the first paint application suffered a reaction giving the wheels a slight hint of purple! This can happen on occasion, especially when wheels arrive in poor condition; however our technicians persevered to ensure the customer received the shiny graphite grey alloys he was expecting.

As you can see from the pictures, the transformation was amazing and our customer was completely satisfied.
