Chemical Dipping (Acid Dipping) for Wheel Restoration

At Wheel-Line, we understand that your wheels are more than just parts – they're a vital part of your car's performance and a key element of its overall style. When years of wear and tear leave your wheels looking tired and worn, chemical dipping (also sometimes referred to as acid dipping) offers a fantastic option to bring them back to their former glory. This process involves submerging your wheels in a powerful chemical solution that quickly removes layers of old paint, grime, and even rust. Here at Wheel-Line, we use environmentally friendly solutions that are safe and effective, ensuring a thorough cleaning without harming the underlying metal. Chemical dipping offers several advantages over traditional methods. It's particularly adept at reaching into even the most intricate nooks and crannies of your wheels, ensuring a uniform clean that blasting methods might struggle to achieve. This is especially important for wheels with complex spoke designs or tight spaces around the lug holes. Additionally, chemical dipping is a gentler process on the metal itself. Unlike sandblasting, which can leave a roughened surface, chemical dipping creates a smooth finish that's perfect for the application of a new powder coat.

Following the chemical dip, our technicians will meticulously inspect your wheels to ensure a flawless base for the next stage. This might involve some minor hand sanding to further smooth the surface and remove any stubborn imperfections. Once prepared, your wheels are ready to be transformed through our state-of-the-art powder coating process, allowing you to choose from a vast array of colours and finishes to create a truly customized look.
