I like the arctic grey! Mind you the black with the red outer rim reminds me of the new Golf R GTi? That they did a concept of

Tip with white wheels, I use Auto Glym Paint Renovator then polish them after it... looks nice and shiny and brake dust wont stick to them for a go few days and when you do wash them it's soooo easy!

Well usually I wash them using wonder wheels and that gets rid off good 98% of dirt (that stuff really does wonders), BUT it takes aaaages to apply, because it needs to be applied using a little brush, and when you need to apply it to all the spokes and sides of spokes on every single wheel, the time sure adds up. Then I sometimes give it a coat of Auto Glyms SRP (super resin polish), but that takes even longer. End result is wheels looking like this, but it only lasts for about 10miles (in the dry :cry: ):

Lol its just on standard suspension (maybe abit knackered). It will be getting lowered at some point this summer hopefully.
What do you use the hammerite smooth for? to patch up curb marks?

:lol: oh very good mig aye!

yeah hammerite to the rescue of my alloys, thankfully i park a good 2 footsteps away from the kerb to decrease the chance of that happening.

bus trip from my car to the kerb :cartman:
