Keep Running Costs Down By Refurbishing Tired Alloy Truck Wheels

The parts like the engine and wheels of a hard-running vehicle, especially a truck, are the first to become worn out. Many of the trucks in the United States of America use aluminum alloy wheels, which have been shown to be lighter, can carry heavy loads and last longer than the old steel wheels.

Running long distances on these wheels cause them to collect dirt, salt, dents, nicks, pits, and scratches resulting in the loss of the original brilliant shine and finish. Pot-holed and dirt tracks could cause hairline cracks to appear, and widen if it is not corrected. This is where aluminum wheel refurbishment from companies like VIS plays a very important part in prolonging the life of the alloys.

As part of the aluminum wheel refurbishment program, VIS technicians inspect the alloy wheels thoroughly for defects and rectify them without removing the wheels. Using their specialist equipment like VIS-Polish, alloys will be completely cleaned of any accumulated oxidation, dust, and grease. They will then be buffed and polished till the wheels shine like new, and all this is done in 10 to 15 minutes.

The VIS-Polish equipment is a stand-alone unit to which various attachments can be fixed to handle various aluminum wheel refurbishment functions as required, based on the condition of the wheel. It reaches into nooks and crannies of the wheel to scrub out and sand accumulated dirt, grease, and potential cracks before applying the finish to cover and restore the wheel to its former glory.

Refurbishing dirty and damaged truck aluminium wheels using stand-alone machinery goes a long way to prolong the life and looks of a very expensive investment.
