Wax for alloys...

[Suped]

what does everyone use?? Is there such wax that repells brake dust as I currently use TurtleWax Extreme Nano-Tech Wax for Wheels. Basically, after a weeks run to work on the motorway, its covered in dust again. :x

hi,

try klasse all in one then klasse glze sealan ton them they are arcylic based and sets rock hard once the surface is treated with this stuff just needs hosing down .

but important the treated surface needs to be very clean and prepared first for it to work properly.

done this on mine and the dust doesnt stick to the wheels at all and stay very clean

pyrognome :evil: burn baby burn!!!

 

[Suped]

nice one, cheers. I'll get some in prep for the new wheels. :lol:

I use Poorboys World Wheel Sealant - clean and polish the rim first though with a good wax :wink:

Oh yes.. spent the latter part of the afternoon cleaning the tires off with a good scrub. The old ones going to get a refurb and new lick of a gunmetal grey paint and used as winter wheels. Should be getting it done before november time and plonked on for christmas.

 

[crxvtec]

Good call. Gunmetal wheels are gonna look awesome on a silver car.

If only SpaceMonkey would lend me a wheel to see it pieced together.

Why do you need another wheel?

 

[spo_gen]

What do VOLK owners use? :|

Just to confirm it'll actually look the part. :lol: No point in spending a few pounds to and to find out afterwards it sucks.

 

[crxvtec]

It will look good - my friend had a Subaru Impreza with those 7 spoke prodrive rims (similar to what you've just bought) in gunmetal grey - it looked superb.

Also did you ever see the Prodrive CR-1? It's an Acura RSX kitted out by Prodrive. Have a look here: http://www.motorcities.com/photo/view/0 ... 9A.jpeg/0/

cheers buddy, thats the look I'm after. Should be completed by next year.

(won't be sourcing the rear wing, just abit too much for me.)

 

[crxvtec]

Yeah I agree...I like the stock wing

The CF ones look a bit weedy in comparison...

 

[Suped]

Weedy?? LOL looks like something from starwars. :lol:

 

[crxvtec]

Weedy as in someone could kick it and it'd come off...whereas the stock one looks like a small child could swing off it no problem (apparently they swing off my car when I'm not looking :shock: )
