Yes mate very easy. Came with a applicator and buffing cloth although went through a pack of microfibre cloths too.
Only took them off as they are brand new so wanted to give them three coats for extra protection. Going to do it again but will leave them on this time haha

I really did it just to make sure they would be ok, those wheels will be coming off at the weekend for the winter, so I can give them a proper good clean all over before next summer.

I did it whilst on, just washed, dried and then 2 coats of sealant. Really need to do the inside of the wheel though!

I had to sell my Sti wheels which were suppose to be my winter set to fund my 6speed. Probably not a wise idea but going to stay on the xxr through the winter but take them off every couple of weeks for a good scrub n wax lol. If a cheap enough set of Sti wheels come up again I may have to snap them up lol

Well after having trouble with one of my rear tyres rubbing I spoke to gav at the speed factory who sent his mate this morning to my house to roll the arches 
Shouldt have any trouble now with going lower or maybe some 9.5 wides
Few pics of the man doing his thing, top lad

looking better every day mate, very interested in the arch rolling, im looking at getting some rotas in the new year so possibly going to have to do this.
not sure if the rear arch extensions are going to cause a problem on my car though.
so whats next on this project??
got to be facelift interior, this is an excellent and cheap upgrade.

Didt really want to have the arches rolled but no problems really and I'd be able to lower it more without it catching. One side flaked a little at the lip but can't see it as its inside anyway so ill just touch that up but apart from that all good and now I won't ruin my tyres haha.
If your going to do them mate take the arches out so you can see if any of the paint cracks underneath. I have arch extensions waiting to go on which is why I've had them rolled now.
If Ryan pulls his finger out I might have them on next week lol.

*** Fast road geo set up ***
Well as you all know I had the new rims put on and had a little trouble with the arches rubbing so kris came down and rolled them for me
Thought it'd be a good idea after this to have a fast road geo set up as I was never convinced the initial set up of the bcs was correct but little did I know they were waaay out!!!
Took the car over to The Speed Factory where Gav spent a lot of time getting all the suspension right setting the heights, preload etc and now WOW what a difference
the car doesn't crash over pot holes and feels stuck to the ground and takes corners exactly how it should.
Big shout out n thanks to Gav for spending so much time to get it right
Few shots at his place, well worth the trip to him
