Cindy Crawfords pimple

[JB65]

Got my car now for 6 monthns and really love it, being a true garage queen she had 15k on the odometer she looks and smells as new. After many cleaning jobs found 2 small things that I consider almost as her Cindy Crawfords pimple being tbh:

- discolouring of one of the alloys after which seems like a polishing job. All others alloys are in perfect shape
- Car fully damage free with exception of a small stone chip on the hood which has been slightly retouched and is hardly noticeable tbh

Appreciate your views on following questions in case I might consider fixing it - particularly cost assuming work is done in lieu of AM specs/maintenance standards:

Alloys
- can AM alloys be refurbished, if so what would be an estimated cost. Can I do 1 or does it require all to be redone? Does AM quality repair require AM dealer work or do specialised alloy workshops provide AM standard repair
Chip
- can this be repaired locally or does this require full hood repaint. Does AM quality repaint require AM dealer work or do repair repaint workshops provide AM quality repair

Appreciate your views!

If the rest of the am dealer network are anything like the ones up norf near me they sub that work out to contractors. An alloy refurb should be around £100 or less depending on what needs doing, if it has discoloured it might just need some pro cleaning solution to remove ingrained brake dust debris. The stone chip should be sorted by a decent ‘chips away’ type business, usually mobile. Caveat with I am going by your pictures.....
