Finish Damage Evaluation Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT:
    • If the wheels are chrome-plated, do not re-plate or refinish the wheels.
    • If the wheels are polished aluminum, do not refinish the wheels in the dealer environment. Utilize a refinisher that meets manufacturer guidelines.
  1. Inspect the wheels for damage from uncoated wheel balance weights or from automatic car wash facilities.
  2. Inspect the wheels for the following conditions:
    • Corrosion
    • Scrapes
    • Gouges
  3. Verify the damage is not deeper than what sanding can remove.
  4. Inspect the wheels for cracks. If a wheel has cracks, discard the wheel.
  5. Inspect the wheels for bent rim flanges. If a rim flange is bent, discard the wheel.
