Permatex has just introduced an easy-to-use repair kit that helps make damaged wheels look new again, and can eliminate the need for wheel replacement or restoration service. The new Permatex Wheel Restoration Kit can be used to repair the damaged surface on metal wheels and restore the original silver metallic finish and overall appearance. The kit comes with simple, step-by-step instructions and everything needed for a complete wheel restoration, including high-performance wheel paint. The finished repair is permanent and resistant to chemicals, brake dust, heat and chipping.
To help ensure a professional quality repair, Permatex has developed three demonstration videos in English and Spanish: Dents and Grooves; Curbside Rashes, Scuffs and Scratches; and Corrosion, Rust and Minor Scratches. Each video covers the entire repair process, step by step. All of the videos are free, and can be viewed online at: www.permatex.com/trainingvideos.htm.
“Scratched or damaged wheels can be as embarrassing as a bad paint job, reducing your vehicle’s value and making it look less appealing,” notes Diane Nesprido, senior product manager at Permatex. “Regardless of where you drive, wheel damage is a common problem that comes in many forms such as curbside rash, stone nicks, road scuffs, pitting, corrosion, as well as the effects of chemicals and weather. Fortunately, there is an easy answer to these problems, and you don’t have to buy a new wheel or take your vehicle to a restoration shop. You can fix your wheels yourself and save hundreds of dollars and hassles in the process.”
With the new Permatex kit, DIYers and professional automotive technicians, alike, can easily restore damaged wheels to a ‘like new’ condition, without the need for special tools or training. The kit works on all types of metal wheels including aluminum, alloy, steel and mixed metals.
The Permatex Wheel Restoration Kit (Item # 09142) is available at leading auto parts stores for less than $25 (average retail price). Store locations can be found at www.permatex.com, or by contacting Permatex at 877-376-2839.
