Most cosmetic damage, such as curb rash, scratches, chips, and minor scuffs, can be successfully repaired. This process involves cleaning, sanding, filling, and refinishing the wheel surface to restore its original appearance.

The repair time varies depending on the extent of the damage and the wheel finish. Minor repairs can often be completed within an hour, while more involved restoration or refinishing might take several hours or require the wheel to be left overnight.

Cosmetic wheel repair is intended for superficial issues like scratches, curb rash, and paint chips. It does not address bent rims, cracks, or structural compromises. If a wheel is bent or shows structural damage after an impact, it will require specialized straightening or replacement.
