as requested here are some pics of my wheels since the refurb as requested in the tunnel run thread.

took me till today to post them because i had to give the car a quick clean.

highly reccomend the new turtle wax ice liquid polish



excuse the brakes (work in progress)





wheel company can come to you and cost me £150 for all 4, give me a shout if you want their details.

 

Looking good

 

Me & Frankie love your Scooby

 

Can I have your Scoob Ting_tong?

Looking good m8 Cannot wait to take her for a spin - be interesting to see how my ex turbo is like on yours.

 

Very tidy looking car, nice wheels

 

thanks for the coments guys

 

Not a fan of the turtle wax range myself

for red you should try the Werkstat Carnauba Kit

Wheels look spot on - make sure you protect them with wheel sealent makes cleaning far easyer

 

tingtong, who did them, they look very nice What state were your wheels in before?

 

company called scuff and buff did them two brothers.

my wheels were not in the best condition one of them was really bad. i've had a brake problem and it ended up eating the paint on the drivers side.

they can do split rims etc and are north west based (wigan ish i think)

contact details for them

07783 4160008 or 07786 545212

they spent about 5 hours at mine.

anyone wanting to have a proper look at the job, my car will be on the zero260 stand at the nbo. or your welcome to pop round and have a look i live north manchester, middleton just off jun 19 m60/m62

 

one thing i will say is the turtle wax is way different from their stuff before and very little work buffing it up.

where can i get this from Werkstat Carnauba Kit i'll give it a try.

 

Remember the finish is all down to the preporation i.e the actual polishing stage not just the wax

but I guess it depends on how much time is on you hands and how far your budget will go

Polished bliss in the car care section gives sound advise on whatever finish your after Car Care Products - Protect - Carnauba Waxes, Synthetic Sealants, Trim Dressings and Microfibre Towels

my wife has a odd colour fiiesta that is a nightmare to get a decent shine out of it but my method was

wash (2 buckets)
clay
wash again
polish using porta cable using menzerna intensive polish
polish with menzerna final polish 2
then polish with jeffs prime strong
then finally use jeffs acrylic to protect

for my car its basicly the same

but for blue its

wash (2 buckets)
clay
wash again
polish using porta cable using menzerna intensive polish
polish with menzerna final polish 2
then polish using blackfire gloss enhancing polish
then protect with blackfire wet diamond
then protect again with a coat of blackfire paste wax

One thing though is get a couple of coats of poorboys wheel sealent on your wheels it stops brake dust sticking and you can wash your wheels with just your normal shampoo its a god send that stuff

 

sounds like hard work and when you dont have a summer it seems pointless
i use the new turtle wax range shampoo 2 bucket,liquid clay then wash again and dry followed with liquid polish takes no more than an hour and looks brand new

 

tingtong you need to post a vid of your turbo/wastegate chatter its the most awesome sound ive ever heard mate.

 

Like I say it depends on how much time you have on your hands - looking brand new in your eyes will no doubt be a million miles out for me. also how can protecting your paint be pointless - you can buy a £10 bottle of cheapo wax which will last 2 weeks or spend £50 on a pot which will last months

a test is to get your car under some halogens

This is a 50/50 split on a golf I cleaned

 

Thanks for that.
