Paint correction
Mobile paint correction and machine polishing
Automatic car washes and poor wash methods leave fine swirl marks that show in sunlight. Over time, paint can also turn dull and chalky.
We wash and prepare the paint, then use a machine polisher and compounds to level the clear coat and remove defects, finishing with a fine polish for depth and gloss. It is a proper paint correction, done where your car is parked.
Finish the look with alloy wheel repair or headlight restoration on the same visit.

Highly recommend Karl! From the moment I contacted him, he was absolutely brilliant. His attention to detail is incredible, and he took the time to explain everything and recommend the best possible finish for my wheels. He can even restore cloudy, aged headlights, making them look like new again. I genuinely feel like I have a new car. Thanks so much, Karl!Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend Karl from London Team Wheels. He did an excellent job on the wheels of my car and the results were amazing. What I appreciated the most was his honesty and professionalism. He explained clearly what would look better on the car and gave genuine advice instead of just trying to charge more. The previous work done on my wheels was very poor, so Karl had to spend much more time fixing everything properly, but he still kept the original price he quoted me. That shows he is a fair and trustworthy person. The wheels came out better than I expected, and he even suggested adding spacers, which I believe will make the car look even nicer. Great service, excellent workmanship, and a genuinely decent guy. Definitely recommended!Posted on Google![]()

I recently had my rims refurbished by London Wheel Team, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The quality of the work is outstanding, and my wheels look like new again. The team was professional, friendly, and kept me informed throughout the process. The turnaround time was excellent, and the attention to detail really shows in the finished productPosted on Google![]()

I had the pleasure of karl & son changing the colour of my black bmw alloys from black to ferric grey whilst adding some nice shading to them also. One alloy had a bad dent which was made better. He also took the time to address some corrosion issues on disk hubs. Great bloke, handy to knowPosted on Google![]()
