Default Curb rash

I have been oh so careful and avoided curb rash for my first 9 months. I tried squeezing into a parking place that had a curb on one side and Ouch!

It's not terrible or deep. I know there are places that can do something for curb rash but I'm thinking that doing a touch-up of some kind would be good for the time being. I suspect I can't totally avoid this from happening and might do something later if more encounters occur.

Anyone know of a home treatment?

You can try wheel touch-up paint. They sell it on Amazon. If you are still not satisfied there are companies that can do an amazing job at making your wheels look new again. We have very high curbs here in Dallas, and I've scraped my wheels numerous times. (I hate it when that happens!) It is one of the reasons I went with the Tire & Wheel package this time around.

Why didn't I think of that? I searched for "wheel touch up paint audi" and the list of products is surprisingly long... Thanks for the idea.

I do not know what model you have but I always use the parking assist when parking like that. It will save you a lot of hassle.
