Just remember that if you start using autosol, you will always have to! It cleans the surface but doesnt offer much protection!

Yup spot on!  :happy2:

When I had my R32 Omanyts refurbed they left the lip polished with no laquer  :scared: (better finish and they know how OCD I am when it comes to my wheels) and I used to have to Autosol them at least once a week, then apply a coat of wax.  :wink:
