The Vees Winter Clean...and a Little 'Mod'

[DebV6]

I finally got round to getting my calipers painted a few weeks ago, so while I was at it I took all my wheels off and gave them a good clean! Gave her a few coats of Autoglym SRP and EGP too. Here's a few pics, not very good quality sorry

Before

After

The calipers

And a few after a quick clean on sunday, didn't manage to take any right after it was polished. They don't really do the shine much justice

There's something really satisfying about cleaning the back of your wheels. Good work.

Like the calipers too!

In a tin with a brush? Need to do mine at some point, black? I doubt silver would stay silver long!

Yep, I just gave the calipers a good clean/de-grease before hand then painted it on with a brush. It goes on pretty smooth, you can't see the brush strokes once it dries.

Oh, and thank you Craig for the stickers! Even though you gave them to me months ago!
