Repairs and Refinishing Record Keeping Safety Compliance


Cleaning and Preparation

  • Clean wheels thoroughly, removing dirt, brake dust, corrosion, and old coatings.
  • Prepare the wheel for refurbishing, which may include sanding, grinding, or polishing.
  • Fix cosmetic damage like scratches, dents, and curb rash.
  • Straighten bent wheels by using specialized equipment and techniques to restore the wheel's original shape and integrity.
  • Refinish the surface through polishing, repainting, powder-coating, or chrome plating, depending on the desired finish.
  • Repair cracks or structural damage, if safe to do so, by using welding or other repair methods.

Quality Control

  • Ensure the wheel is structurally sound after repairs. This involves checking for proper balance, alignment, and uniformity.
  • Test the wheel for safety to ensure it will perform properly when mounted on a vehicle.
  • Maintain high-quality standards for cosmetic appearance (e.g., smooth finishes, flawless paint jobs).
  • Document the details of each wheel refurbishment job, including customer information, wheel condition, repair methods used, and costs.
  • Track inventory of materials and supplies, such as paint, coatings, and replacement parts.
  • Follow safety procedures to handle potentially hazardous materials, such as cleaning solvents, paints, and powders.
  • Ensure the use of protective equipment (e.g., gloves, goggles, masks) to prevent injury and exposure to chemicals.
  • Follow environmental regulations regarding waste disposal, especially for materials like paint and solvents.

By fulfilling these responsibilities, a wheel refurbished ensures that the refurbished wheels are not only aesthetically appealing but also safe and durable for use on vehicles.
