Question

Driving to work in snow today and knocked front wheel into the curb.
The alloy is scuffed on the rim.
What is the best method for repairing the damage?
It is only scraped a little but do I need to protect it with anything?
Advice much appreciated.

Best to clean it up with some HD Cleanse and touch it in with matching paint colour and then wax it

What colour is the rim?

Might be an idea to get the wheel rebalanced too

Alloy is just the standard 6 spoke for my00 (old) model - silver/gun metal?

Ah, just pop down to your local Halfords and try all the touch up sticks to see which one matches best
