Looks good Rob, hopefully it'll last a few days!

Tried changing front pads on mine today but the pins have siezed in the caliper.

Anyone know where I can get replacements without paying stealer prices?

Try saying their value is the same as the standard wheels, as iirc they are actually cheaper than the Lustics, no increase for my speedlines on my policy.

I use Autoglym Custom Wheel cleaner, the one with the light blue label on it & the Autogylm wheel brush

works very well to be honest. I do about 250 miles a week and be lucky this time of year if its washed once a fortnight

Snow foaming your car first is the best way to avoid those nasty swirl marks, i never had one swirl mark on mine.......plenty stone chips but no swirls

Cheers Rob - sounds like my kind of price per wash

I suppose the only way to do the underside is poke the p washer under and angle it up (widening the spray pattern to reduce pressure a bit).

Pretty much foam it on, let it dwell for a while. It breaks down the dirt on the car enabling you just to rinse it off with ease, some folk just do that as a main wash if its not that dirty and some folk do a quick once over with a wash mitt afterwards

Time saver really and allot easier and like Strike said no nasty swirls on the car

this Snow Foam stuff, can you get it with a wax in it so you can spray on, let it do its thing, then jet wash off, giving a 'finish' to the car once you leather and dry off?
