I've never used one , but for £50 they seem alot of money for something that just covers the car in foam at low pressure .
Have you never thought about a pressure washer ? There are some in Aldi now , £75 , they are made by Karcher and rebranded Powecraft , plus you get a 3 year guarantee ...
Gotta say Fred . Eithers it's my tired eyes , the polish lager or just a bad pic . But the centre cap looks a totally different shade to the refurbed wheel :ee:
Jesus Ja.Jack . Don't you ever stop trying to wind people up ? Or do you lead such a sad and meagre existance that you thrive on the attention you crave ??
Fred and BenR are respected members of this community and from all the posts i've read their customer satisfaction is second to none ...
I never wrote a receipt . As said , sold as seen wouldn't mean anything legally . Just make sure you fill out the parts on the V5 , his and your part .
No need to take off any of the paint . If it's been filled you'll obviously need to sand that down , just sand the whole wheel lightly as well with some 320 grit to give the primer something to key to . No wonder its taking you ages ;)

I cleaned the wheel with AG engine and machine cleaner then dried it . Filled all the deep scratches with Upol D Metallic Filler , left overnight to harden sanded it down with 320 grit wet and dry . This also gives the primer a good...
The white dots could be because your in a hard water area . Use a waffle weave towel . I also use an autoglym aqua blade to remove the majority of water . Chamois leathers are crap tbh , you've more chance of causing a streaky finish using one ...
^^^ The man talks sense .
If you take it to a dealer prepare to have your heart broken . Sell it private and you'll get more . I sold my import 172 for the same price as similar age , mileage etc .... 172's on Autotrader . As long as you have an alarm and locking wheel nuts you should get the...
The offset is where the wheel sits inside the arch . The lower the number the further out the wheel sits on the hub . On the 182 it has a slightly wider track than say the 172 cup , so the wheel has to sit further inside the wheel arch so it doesn't rub on the outside of the arch .
