Ok, it's time for the question I hoped I'd never have to ask:
Is there a product (or products) that can be used to repair fairly light kerbage (I think I've invented a new word there ) on an alloy wheel?
I've seen Halfords' smart repair kit but it involves spraying all 4 wheels with their crappy silver paint after applying the filler, which seems a bit daft to me.
Hi Justin
If I was you I would live with your slight damage. When I picked my new car up from the dealer in March one of the alloys was slightly damaged so the dealer told me to take it back and they would sort it. When I picked it up I was horrified as they had got someone to refurbish the alloy which looked HORRIBLE. It was a different colour to the others and a matt silver finish. To cut a long story short I said I would stay there until they put a new alloy on - which to their credit they did. But if you get something done to your alloy like that no one is going to give you another one when they have cocked it up. so my advise is leave well alone. :sad:

I know there is a company called 'Shine on' who repair wheels. Involves sanding the wheel back to remove all scratches, filling any major damage, respraying the wheel the colour of your choice and then adding a lacquer finish. It costs about £40 a wheel so not cheep, and probaly not worth doing unless you have some major all over damage.
