Cleaned the ledge but...

[CHRIS172CUP]

...found out what carbone lorraines can do to your wheels, oops!

At least they work well, makes up for it

 

[Peperami]

Shiny!

Doing mine in the morning, polish the rear bumper up. Stop posting coilovered pics :rasp:

 

[PeteCup]

Any tips for removing that as my wheels look exactly the same at the minute. Tried Autoglym wheel cleaner but it dosnt quite get it out of the corners, i'm thinking maybe a tooth brush might help?

 

[Peperami]

Fairy power spray is meant to be good?

 

[Guppy]

small paint brush and auto glym engine & machine cleaner.

if eats eaten away at the paint then they will need paint im affraid.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

well the first attempt at getting it off used up half a big bottle of autoglym wheel cleaner, a whole bottle of fairy power spray (which is actually the best wheel cleaner about) and some neat acid from my mates garage. And it still didn't lift.

Think they need a rub down, lol

 

[Chrisjk]

Wet sand then then bring back the shine with Megs scratch X

 

[christian rea]

contact autosmart or surechemicals in cannock they sell a wheel cleaner neat that you can wvery strongater down that works the best and

or the stuff from jml is gd its in a florescent pot

Looking at those pics ,a refurb is the only way to sort them out . Even the legendary fairy power spray won't shift that if it's burnt into the paint which it looks like it has .

 

[MarkCup]

Looks good, better even with the wheels like that.

 

[pecan]

Tried Wonder Wheels? I used it last weekend, did a great job.

 

[Fletcher]

looks like refurb is needed to me.

 

[Richyy182]

[Christopher]

[Christophe]

That is looovely

LOL, check what i used already.

I'm not fussed about the wheels, they're battle scars as far as I'm concerned.

You're right chris, she does look better dirty

 

[Christopher]

That pic you took ages ago in the car park. :approve:

Fairy Power spray? I LOVE this site! You think you've learned alot and then you read that!

Why do you all rate it so highly then? I'm going to be buying some though, that's for sure!

 

[C.J]

Can't wait to get one...

[PeteCup]

What exhaust is that? Looks great, just what i'm after!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

It's a cliocup race system

 

[whatisjustis]

Love that photo of the foliage. No point in removing your rear seats if you're not going to fill it tree!

 

[Ali]

There are pads as good that don't SH AG your wheels! CL & PF i'd 100% avoid!

Looks good from a distance tho!

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

LOL at from a distance.

Ah well, what's done is done. Might finally get a dry ring trip to try them out in a few weeks. She's heading for 100 laps bless her.

DS2500/3000's The latter bein a bit more agressive..But still not to the same extreme.

I was quite impressed with the Pagid Blues too, which were worse the theferrodo's but still alot less 'paint/wheel sh agging'

Where might i be able to get one?

 

[Lee]

contact autosmart or surechemicals in cannock they sell a wheel cleaner neat that you can wvery strongater down that works the best and

or the stuff from jml is gd its in a florescent pot

I use the stuff Surechemicals sell, amazing stuff. It's called Sheetclean and is designed to clean the side of lorry tarpaulin (sp). My parents neighbour used to work there and got me a couple of cans of the stuff.

Good to see the ledge still going strong. Sod the wheels, you can't see them from inside the car.
