Finish Damage Evaluation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Buick Regal and 2002 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • 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.
