Once you start looking into repairs that will preserve the aesthetics of your car’s wheels, it won’t be long before your research leads you to the phrase ‘diamond cut finish’, or ‘diamond cutting’. This is because a diamond cut is widely regarded as the crème de la crème of alloy finishes, one that provides the highest possible quality and precision, giving your wheels a prestigious, high calibre look.
Diamond cutting works by finely cutting the alloy wheel on a lathe, removing only what metal is required – nothing more, nothing less. The process starts, however, with a specialist clean of your wheel, completely removing all dirt, grit and tar, ensuring that our team can make a thorough examination and decide on the best possible repair for the damage.
After the cleaning the wheel is powder coated, allowing for a smoother finish once the repair is complete. Then comes the precision cutting, which leaves a pure, shiny finish. Following this expert diamond cut comes a coating of scratch-proof lacquer, after which the wheel is baked in the oven and then carefully inspected to ensure it meets our quality standards.
Even if you’re not fanatical about your wheel aesthetics, it’s worth considering a diamond cut repair because many car companies fit diamond cut alloys to their vehicles as standard. If your car is intended to come with this style of alloys then it’s worth preserving the continuity, not just to ensure the car looks its best but also to give yourself the best possible chance of attracting a high resale price should you ever come to put it on the market.
