Sh"t, my very expensive wheels are getting Bollo"ked, the road salt is stuffing them up, i am having to clean them everyday.

As they are polished alloy, the last owner decided to clean them with what looks like an abrasive material and has took off some of the clear lacquer. where it is missing the alloy is pitting. Gonna have to take them off to do a top clean then try and recoat them myself.

Any tips.

 

I'll give you £20 for them, save you all the hassle , and throw in some mince pies free

 So what you are saying Miggy is that you want £12.20 for four wheels, you drive a very hard bargain  8-), I've got two packets of Mince pies and I'll go up to £11.50 in CASH

Seriously if re-paint is the idea,  with my little paint knowledge I must say winter is not a good season for paint them..

 If you want the paint to be perfect at any point :

* they must be cleaned from stone chips and traces ..This can be done with sanding..After necessary base coat..Wait for some time to dry

completely..(in winter this is long time)..Again sanding..Again paint 1-2 layers ..Wait for dry again..And another 1-2 layers  then the final clear
coat..

These waiting intervals depend on temperature..And can take long time I think..

Yer but, I am willing to up my offer then, I'll chuck in another packet of mince pies and two unused Xmas cards on top of my first offer. How does that offer sound then Miggy.  

[Minispud]

Hi Miggy, if my offer is just to much for you, once you have painted your wheels try this stuff to help protect them http://www.tsw-wheels.co.uk/?section=11&page=3.  

 Mince pie any one
