• Spot repair: This repair treats only the damaged area of the wheel and is not always an option. A spot repair consists of repairing any damage and blending the new finish into the old one: • PROS: Less expensive and looks great • CONS: Due to the fact that we have not refinished the entire face of the wheel, the blended area may be vulnerable over time. Therefore, we can not offer a Rim Doctor warranty for spot repairs. While it is an affordable, attractive, cosmetic repair, the long term durability of a spot repair will vary depending on wheel care, climate, road conditions and many other factors. This is a great option if a car is being prepped for trade-in, sale or lease turn-in. • Complete Refinish • PROS: • Looks Fantastic! • Easy to maintain • LIFETIME WARRANTY against finish defects as long as you own the vehicle • CONS: Costs a little more.
