This video is exactly what I needed to fix my wounded A6. My scrape was about the size of yours but all the way home I'm sure everybody I passed saw nothing but what I did to my beautiful car. Thank you.
Curbed my A3’s front rim today, which brings me here... I feel your pain!
Curbed my beautiful Q2 can’t believe I done this ..had the confidence to repair it after watching your brilliant video, Thanks
Planning to sort mine this weekend, clipped a curb today. Good video thanks
Clipped a curb today in my S5 and I'm pretty bummed to say the least. Mine looks like about as much damage as yours was so I'm thankful for your video. I think I can managed this repair now
How much was it to get fixed
U know what though excellent finish mate well done that was amazingly done
Curbed my new Mustang GT last night. About the same amount of damage as your Audi wheel. Was a tad bummed out. Feeling much better about it after watching your vid. Much appreciated.
I have aftermarkets of 19" oems on my A3 that I curbed. Hadn't thought about fixing them since they are cheap aftermarket but your video gives me the thought of I got nothing to lose but try it. I do have some sandpaper laying around since I tried buffering out a scruff I made on my wrist watch. Need polisher though.
I have my new Audi Q5 a month. I have just had the car and wheels ceramic coated. Oh! BTW have the upgrade 20" alloys. 10 minutes ago I curbed the front left alloy😭 - similar damage to yours. I can't remember the last time I have curbed an alloy 🙈 I am so glad that you have put this video up. Really good job - wish me look in the repair 👍
That's what I did to my wheel! I cant sleep now, I'm so upset!
Hillary - did you try to fix it, like this vid shows you?
Fk mc drive trough I'm in my bed sad because I did a huge scrach on my back rim at least it's not deep
Alright, this is gonna help me immensely (years after this video came out) thanks! F'ed up my Audi A5 wheel in a very similar way :(
Very informative video for a quick fix but how will you seal the alloy (lacquer spray)?. Or else the water could deposit on the metal and cause corrosion.
thx u, were you wet sanding all the way? what grits of sand paper?
Thanks for the good vibes repair video. I was also wondering if touch up paint would be needed?
Good job ! I learned from your video thanks
Lmao. Dude that beginning with the music stopping had me rewinding like 5 times. I laughed harder each Time. Lol the reason why I am watching this. Is I have an Audi SQ5 with 21 inch wheels and I just got a little road rash on my right rear rim. Ugh. So this will help. Thanks for the vid and great job
Curbed one of my nice japanese rays wheels today. my heart sunk in my chest. Brought me here. Not sure how i’ll find the exact bronze paint to fix it
Hi, did you only use sandpaper and painter's tape? What grit of sandpaper did you use? Thanks.
i curbed my s3 wheels, what grit sand paper did you use?
A good clear video with a good result. Now my issue is that my curb rashed wheel rim is painted over the alloy. I guess some careful painting following the scuff clean-up is all that is required?
Never said the grit he used
Do you have to use a clear coat paint? Or just leave the bare metal
I just did that to two of my 2018 S4 rims today...
Nice wheels 😎 👍🏻
Excellent helpful video
I tried the same on my bmw F30 really excellent result
Thanks a lot 😘
Hi can you tell me which reference number papers you have used please. Thanks
Just curbed mine today 😅 what grits did you use?
Just curbed my S5 rotors today 😩 friend of mine is doing them both for $100. I might do one wheel using your method seeing as it’s hide small rash really well
curbed rotors? What happened to the wheel and tire : )
Nice job there. Is it possible to retouch in the sealing lacquer too?
Absolutely! I've done this to an m6 rim before.
I done the exact same thing today!!😩
@MOD-IT Thanks for this video. I listened to your video several times, and I was unable to get the grip number and the liquid you used on the second step. Thanks ...
@4:10 area of video, he mentions 150/250 grit
Hot beat nice video dude, keep it up!
Thanks Will!
You can blend it with a very light coat of a coarse metalic silver.. jusy requires a lot more prep work but results are 90% less noticable than a sand and polish... except for the flakes but the reflection and patern of the diamond cut blend well.. did thousands of repairs on all type of wheels..
can u help me
Cheers bro👍 don the same to my brand new 19 inch 😭
I have similarly designed wheels... So each step u fast forwarded through 1) what sandpaper did u use each time and finish with? And 2) were u wet sanding each time or only at the very end?
Correct really easy just go slow and you can always use stronger grit tho it's better to start with a finer grit just to be on the safe side.
MOD-IT u still haven’t answered his questions lol what sandpaper’s did you work with?
Hali Fax Yes, usefully he would answer, but it’s not transferable to a different rash. You need to choose grit empirically, that’s what he meant by if anything start too fine. Start too fine, then lower the grit number until it will just cut out the damage. Then go higher / finer to remove evidence of last grit scratches. Don’t skip a grit, just work steadily up the series once the rash is gone. If you go too fine / shiny, go back a grit until the finish just matches the virgin finish.
In U.K. we would have to lacquer it. Salt / water would produce white oxidation bloom fast.
So what grit do you start with
Believe it was 300
what grid sand paper did you use?
150/250
250 grit sand light just enought to get the rash out then ln use aluminum and mothers mag and aluminum polish 👍...this wont work if you wheels ascuffed nd nicked up on the rim face just the lip
Hello, no paint?
Please, can you share the specs of the sand papers you used! I need to do the same.
He mentioned 150-250 paper. Not sure if you’ll be sanding it wet or dry.
Why would anyone down vote this??
Just curbed my A45 amg rims...
Are these machined wheels or polished / painted?
Factory painted alum.
Not trying to step on your toes MOD-IT but they are actually machined finish wheels with a clear coat on top.
The inserts are painted but the actual face of the rim is machine finish, cut on a lathe machine.
Take care.
song name? great video, simple and easy
Curbed my 2020 Honda accord so fucking upset it's not to bad but I notice it lol. I hope this works thank you
Did you get the curb damage out? I curbed my accord yesterday
Hi, were you able to fix it using this method?
@@Renz88850 somewhat. It looks a lot better but if I find the time I'll see if I can get more damage sanded out
what is the number of sandpaper we use
Don't remember, sorry if it wasn't mentioned.
Nice job! This looks helpful for my situation when the damn mechanic stood the wheel up and it tipped over on the front part of the rim against the metal hoist as he got a call 😡🤬
Was he mexican?
@@HeadsUP253 no he was euro lol
Thats even worse lol
I've never scuffed my wheels
Great video! Bad choice is music. Made me want to turn off sound.
Gr8 video, thanx!
Thank you!
This video stopped me from crying after I curbed by front rim.
Curbed my new A5 rim today.....it must be super Tuesday's fault.
Sorry to hear that
I didn’t curb anything when I got my tyres changed guy scratched it ffs !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucky I’m good with this shit so will fix that light scratch.
All these crappy American roads...the elephant in the room
please show your technique rather than fast forwarding. us newbies need all the instruction we cang get :)
That actually makes a lot of sense, will surely show more details on next type of videos! Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks!
My wife has her own warning system for parking .
Lol hahaha ha ha ha ha ha ha😄😄😄👏👏👏😱😱😃😃😂😂😂😭😭ha ha
Curbing my bmw m4 wheels brought me here, the damage is not bad but it’s sadly too far into the center of the wheel to fix this way
Same here. I slightly rashed 666 wheels on my M3. I might give this a try.
10akee mine has the 437 because it’s not a comp pack 😢
No one will know looks good
Rim style is already 5 years old what!!?
bloody hell, if you're going to show "how to do this" video, please......PLEASE! Mention the bloody sandpaper grit!
He said “150 or 250” at the end
@jav the ripper what a muppet
Good advice, terrible music track ...Ufa! It gives me a migraine!
G.n
Curbed my £400 alloys so pissed off.
