Recarfix

Recarfix is a Dutch company based in Haarlem that sells self-adhesive microfilm patches for repairing wheel damage. The patches are sprayed in original wheel colors and are designed to hide scratches and curb damage. They are sold in A7 packages containing six patches, suitable for wheel sizes from 14 to 24 inches. The business operates under the name Recarfix and is officially a member of Thuiswinkel.org.

The process involves inspecting the damage, cleaning and degreasing the area, and then applying the patch. For larger damage, users are advised to sand the area with 120 grit sandpaper before application. The patches can be applied by the customer themselves in about 10 minutes without needing a professional workshop visit.

The patches are made in Haarlem and are patented technology. They comply with EU REACH regulations and meet safety and environmental standards. The product is tested against ASTM D3359, ISO 4892-2, and the Mercedes brush-test with zero detachment.

The standard price starts from € 27,95 for an A7 package with six patches. The company offers a 100% OEM color match guarantee and ships with track and trace. Orders placed before 16:00 are dispatched the same day.

The patches are designed to last between 2 to 4 years depending on how well they are attached. They are washroom-proof and can withstand high-pressure washing from 48 hours after application. Some velgenreinigers with high pH values may shorten the patch's lifespan.

Customers can choose from specific brands including Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes, Porsche, Tesla, and more. The website states that the current range covers 70 to 80% of all wheel colors, with ongoing development to add more.

The patches are 30cm invisible from a distance and are suitable for every wheel type. They are made of ultrathin, self-adhesive material that is slijtvast (wear-resistant) even in the car wash.

If the patch does not adhere properly, common causes include insufficient degreasing, un-sanded damage, or low application temperature. Users are advised to warm the wheel and patch with a hairdryer to ensure better adhesion.

The company states that the patches can be used immediately after application, though waiting at least 2 hours is advised for optimal bonding. A minimum wait of 48 hours is recommended before washing the car.

The business is located at Izaäk Enschedéweg 42-H in Haarlem, Noord Holland. Their main phone number is 085 – 401 65 97, and they also provide a WhatsApp contact number at +31 65 791 93 20.

The company offers a DIY solution for hiding scratches without spending hundreds of euros on a wheel restorer. It is presented as an alternative to using a lacquer pen, offering a quick fix for cosmetic damage.

The website mentions that the patches are tested under the harshest conditions and are washroom-proof. Some users on Google reviews noted that the patches are not visible unless you know exactly where to look.

The business operates under KvK number 94819092 and has a VAT number NL866902715B01. They are an official member of Thuiswinkel.org, which provides the Thuiswinkel Waarborg guarantee to customers.
