I've used Spit & Polish for most of my cars (6 out of 7 cars) alloy wheel refurbishment over the past 2 years. The quality isn't the best, but the price reflects this, so I've always gone back. However the last set of wheels were done very poorly. They arrived back with a very poor finish with lots of scratches and dirt/pitting. This is for my BMW 330CI M Sport Convertible, which has a staggered setup. Along with the above the wider tyres were fitted to the narrower alloys and the narrow tyres were on the wider alloys! They were sent back to be redone (re-paint) again, where most of the pitting

I had neglected the condition of my AMG wheels and they were indeed a sorry state. Spitandpolish had been recommended by a neighbor. Ian was fantastic in his customer service. After having the car for two days the end result was very transformative , the wheels look like new . As a result I have now booked my wife's car for two wheels to be refurbished. I cannot thank Spitandpolish enough.

I initially had a refurb here about a year ago after kerbing my wheel, after a year all the lacquer had peeled off the wheel, they did again for free, but they have taken even more off the wheel and it now looks completely odd compared to the other wheels, the diamond cut bit is really thick and on the other 3 wheels quite thin. I didn`t immediately notice at the shop, but I noticed straight away when I had another look when I got home. I am now so disappointed I`m already looking for a replacement wheel :-( The diamond cut parts of the refurbed wheel also have noticable machine "score" marks and

Very disappointed, just got my five jag wheels today, every tyre has sidewall damage, (so five new tyres) paint is already flaking off, corrosion in the bead not cleaned of just painted over, as soon as the tyres where removed the paint came off with it, now the tyres wont seal properly. Just glad it wasnt on a customers car.

If the original finish is a 10 then I've received a 1 at best. Awful orange peel effect nearer to Hammerite than original finish and it's pinging off after two weeks. Tyre fitter found two hideous flaws that some clown had hidden under their protective tape at the periphery and yet someone has initialed their 'approved quality' sticker?Too far to take them back and besides I've lost confidence. Unable to create a fuss on site as the boss was present and she already thinks I'm a waster for getting this done 85 miles away. Same wheels now being refurbished again by a local company that happen to

Just collected wheels and have to say very disappointed with the quality of finish. I have used them before and had OK service but lacquer lift usually at 1 year but this time powder coated finish just low quality with many imperfections. Mobile smart repair guys would match or better the finish for a fraction of the cost! wont use again.
