Rim repairs: start spring without scratches!

The sun's rays are noticeably warmer. Time to prepare for spring. For cars, for example, changing from winter to summer wheels. The perfect moment to finally get rid of that ugly scratch that has disfigured the aluminum rim since the last curb bump. Once at work, you can then immediately free the tires from the gray of winter. It's easy with that Rim repair kit as the Black tire color by QUIXX. "Repair it. Yourself!” is the motto of the experts for the repair of vehicle surfaces from Neuried near Munich.

QUIXX rim repair set

It's often the little blemishes that inevitably attract critical looks. That's why the body can still shine like that after the spring cleaning, this scratch on the wheel is just annoying. Actually not a big problem. With the QUIXX rim repair set and its innovative QUIXX liquid aluminum technology, available for €19,95 in the colors black and silver, even amateurs can quickly repair such damage. How exactly the detailed instructions explain: Clean the rim thoroughly, remove any residue of loose paint and protruding aluminum, smooth the damaged area with sandpaper, mask off previously undamaged areas, clean the treated areas with soapy water and dry well.

Then apply the repair compound, model the rim contours with your finger and the side of a cutter knife. Now let it harden for two hours and then wet sand (100 paper) until the contours are perfect. Rinse the treated area again and let it dry. Finally touch up the scratch with the touch-up pen. Of course, all necessary utensils are included in the all-inclusive set from QUIXX. The detailed instructions or the video tutorial also explain each work step step by step.

Black drives nicer

The rims are repaired, but something still disturbs the overall impression? Perhaps this is due to the unsightly gray of the tires. The effects of the weather in recent years, as well as dirt and dust from winter storage, cannot be overlooked. Time to use the black tire color from QUIXX (price 14,95 euros). Without any greasy, unnatural sheen, the satin-matt black color keeps the tires in top shape for up to six months. The guarantee for the long-lasting effect is the innovative Black Polymer Technology (BPT) from QUIXX, for which the company has applied for a patent.

The black tire paint dries quickly after application, does not stick and does not attract dust. And best of all, the rubbers not only look better, they are also protected from UV radiation and other harmful environmental influences. Even continuous rain or rotating brushes in car washes cannot harm this QUIXX high-tech product. Even if the name does not suggest it, the product can of course also be used on other rubber parts of the vehicle, such as door and window seals (video tutorial).

The following note is essential: For safety reasons, tuningblog recommends all repair, inspection and maintenance work exclusively to be carried out in a specialist workshop! Although our information is summarized to the best of our knowledge and belief, we cannot assume any liability for the content. All information is therefore "without guarantee".

Of course, that wasn't the end of it!

In this tuningblog category there are guides and instructions for common defects/repairs on the vehicle and for installing accessories/tuning parts. Our articles explain in a simple way common defects and the corresponding repairs, as well as explaining how the first signs of a defect become noticeable. In most cases, we also have initial clues to the repair instructions in our repair instructions approximate The costs of the pending repair are listed. The goal of our subcategory “Auto Repair Guide“ is to create a head start in knowledge for the next visit to the workshop with initial tips. This may save you from tedious troubleshooting and small things can perhaps be done directly on your own. The same applies, of course, to the installation of accessories/tuning parts. Here, too, we would like to help with the implementation with instructions and tips. There are many other posts on this as well. Below is an excerpt of the last and HERE there are all previous instructions:
