Having the lower splitter resprayed every so often is enevitable really, if you want to keep it stone-chip-free :smiley:
With regards to the wheels - Bilberry Wheel Cleaner is the best we've found. It's acid free and completely safe, so doesn't strip any products that have already been applied. If there are some more stubborn spots, claying them will help to remove any tar spots and etched in brake dust.
In terms of protection for them, Rimwax is an excellent product - it's resistant against high heat levels, repells brake dust, tar and road film and gives a really wet-look to the wheels
Hope this helps

Thanks for that.
Is claying easy to do? How does it work ? I assume it's not a polish and cloth method?
I will try the Bilberry next...where's best to order this from and what clay products are best value and easy to use/
What's this Dodo Juice product all about?
I use Zymol Autobathe or the Halfords Zymol car wash and leather chamois at £ 7.99! Would you use a better alternative to stop the swirls....I'd love a detail job or assessment by an expert TBH.

Hi Ian,
Yes, you're right - claying isn't a polish and cloth method... you use a clay bar with some lube to remove all of the contaminants and tar spots on both the wheels and the body work. You can get different grades of clay, ranging from super fine / gentle to quite aggressive, depending on how bad the contamination is. We wouldn't really recommend using an aggressive clay though, unless the process is going to be followed with a machining stage, as it can quite often cause marring in the paint that the machining would remove.
I've sent you a PM about the Bilberry and other products
And on one final note - you have to get rid of the chamois!! :smiley:
Msportman:
I look forward to your PM....on the chamois front what's the alternative....send it in your PM.
I assume the clay bar is a square item.....could be difficult getting on to my Pescara wheels.

PM should be in your Inbox - let me know if you don't have it and I'll resend :happy2:
The clay does come in a square block, but you brake a piece off and mold it in your hand before using it, so you can use a small piece and mold it into a sort of circular shape in order to help get into the wheels a bit better
