Hi all, I had a little accident today, I scraped the rim of my car on all 5 spokes. How do I get this out ?

If you have caps, new cap. If you have rims you're SOL. Worth just finding some stock rims on Craigslist. Cheaper then refinishing sometimes.

I've heard great praise from people using rim repair services. Some of them are even mobile. The prices weren't too outlandish, but I would price what it would cost to replace the entire rim also.

Look on youtube or I think that on one of the detailing sites there is a video fixing some road rash. Might have even been on AG. Good luck.

Any chance you have some pics? I've done a few successful DIY jobs, but it is hard work for what you get....usually a bit short of perfection. But, as mentioned above, there are some great mobile service vendors out there who perform magic, at less cost than you might expect. Good luck...

This is a time when you get outta your car to see the damage and think to yourself "it'll buff out" lol.
