SERVICE INFORMATION

Here is how to polish out scratches in the clear coat of alloy wheels. This is a good way to restore older wheels that have scratches from improper cleaning or to save new wheels that are found to be scratched at PDI.

1. Clean the wheels thoroughly with an appropriate wheel cleaner.
2. Inspect the wheel for surface scratches.
3. Remove the affected wheel(s) from the car. Use the 3M Finesse-it System to polish out the scratches. Inspect your work frequently and take off only enough material to remove the scratches.
   NOTE: If you polish through to the metal, the clear coat cannot be repaired.
4. Remount the wheel(s) on the car.
