    car polish......


    Alloys are laquered.....and so mix 50% T cut with 50% car polish......rub in with soft cloth....and buff off...

    then with fresh cloth.....car polish...and buff off.

    Job done

    All the alloys at my garage get car polished when brand new cxos it stops the brake dust sticking

    is shallow...yeah....if deep enough for your finger nail to go in....nope

    BUT...if you go to Halfords and get SILVER COLOURED POLISH....(meant for silver cars with scratches) it'll hide a lot.

    Needs doing regulalr tho

    I used some of the Halfords tyre dressing/cleaner a while ago, then noticed when I cleaned the wheels on Sunday it had stained them yellow ish in streaks. The best thing for getting that off was the miracle cleaner that is Zymol Leather Cleaner! Honestly this stuff is amazing - great on leather (of course) but also on interior plastics, dashboard, and wheels! It's a bit expensive but it's worth it
