I've kerbed my alloys. Absolutely raging. Looking to get them sorted as I wince whenever I think about or look at them
From reading diamond cut can only be refurbed once or twice, and whole wheel is refurbed, not just spot.
I'm thinking I have diamond cut, but I'm not 100%. Not sure if anyone is able to tell from picture, probably not.

Before getting them refurbed, can I do anything DIY to lessen the ugly look?
I also don't want them getting worse while I wait for refurb.
Don't want to take on anything that might wreck them more.

I know these things happen but so disgusted.

Certainly looks diamond cut on parts.
Always a tough decision with wheels, just live with it or get them done and maybe kerb them again?

Yeah i know, that's the risk if getting them re-furbed. Just killing me at the moment looking at them
I might just take a chance on that kit. If it could take the real bad look off them, I probably could live with it a bit more.
Hopefully using that kit wouldn't mean I'd risk doing more damage trying to clean up ad a refurb would still be possible

Yes they're diamond cut. Think our local place is around £70 a wheel.

The problem you might have is that they could look subtly different to the other 2 once done.
