Curbs And Rims Do Not Get Along!!! Is This An Option? All Fit Rim Trim!

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing All-Fit Rim Trim to protect your rims from curb rash while adding a stylish touch. Rim Trim is an affordable solution designed for wheels up to 24 inches and is available in various colors.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before starting the installation, ensure you have the following items:

• All-Fit Rim Trim kit
• Four alcohol swab packs (included in the kit)
• Two adhesive promoter packs (included in the kit)
• A pair of sharp scissors
• Gloves (provided in the kit)

Step 2: Clean the Rims

Proper cleaning is crucial for effective adhesion. Follow these steps:

1. Open one alcohol swab pack.
2. Thoroughly clean the outer lip of each rim to remove any waxes, sealants, or protectants.
3. Ensure the area is free from dirt and contaminants to promote a strong bond.

Step 3: Apply the Adhesive Promoter

To enhance adhesion, use the adhesive promoter:

1. Open one adhesive promoter pack.
2. Apply it to the same outer area of the rim that you just cleaned.
3. Allow it to dry briefly.

Step 4: Prepare the Rim Trim

Now, it's time to prepare the Rim Trim for installation:

1. Remove the Rim Trim from its packaging.
2. Identify the lip on the trim, which will help guide you during application.

Step 5: Install the Rim Trim

Follow these steps to apply the trim:

1. Peel off the backing from the double-sided tape on the Rim Trim.
2. Align the trim with the outer lip of the wheel.
3. Press firmly along the entire circumference of the rim to secure it in place.

Step 6: Trim Excess Material

After the trim is in place, you may need to cut it to fit:

1. Use sharp scissors to carefully cut the trim.
2. Ensure the cut is straight for a seamless finish.

Step 7: Finalize the Installation

To complete the installation:

1. Press the trim into the wheel firmly one last time to ensure it adheres well.
2. Apply the thin transparent film over the seam where the two ends of the trim meet. This will help to secure the seam and add structural integrity.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed All-Fit Rim Trim, providing both protection against curb scrapes and a stylish look for your rims. Keep in mind that while this trim offers some protection, it is not a substitute for careful parking. For ongoing maintenance, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as colors may fade over time. Enjoy your newly protected and stylish wheels!
