HEADPHONES Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 These rims have been run daily for 18 years. Up until about 5 years ago I used to take them off the car every year or two and give them the full monty. Shampoo. Rinse and dry. Tar remover. Rinse and dry. Fallout remover. Wash. Clay bar. Rinse and dry. Then Gtechniq C5. I never have a whole day free anymore so on Friday I took a short cut. Shampoo rinse and dry. Then just Autoglym SRP. Followed by a quick coat with TW Hybrid Sealant Wax spray. I took the failing lacquer off the diamond cut lips about 2-3 years ago using paint stripper sprayed onto a brush then brushing on. Just washing weekly with some regular spray sealant and the odd quick going over with SRP or AF Tripple seems to negate the need for re lacquer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 The rims didn't look to bad from afar but whenever I parked next to @SHEZZAat a meet, his LMGT4s always put mine to shame particularly the barrels😄. Only had time to do the driver's side and not around the lug nuts. But hey ho......just do what you can do is my motto. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I have the same issue, I can't be bothered to take the wheels off or don't have the space and time 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
