His wheels are in the shop at the moment being refurbished, they are monza II's and he is having them powder coated then diamond cutt to the face and is worried about the acrylic lacquer not being the best stuff.  He would also like to know if there is anything in particular he should look out for when collecting the wheels, so he can mention any issues or defects before he pays.

And then when he gets them back he wants to know about care tips to stop them white worming again.

HTH  :happy2:

As for care tips I would give them a couple of coats of wheel sealant I use poor boys.  Some others also use a layer of wax as well a hard wearing one like collonite, regular cleaning and repetition of this process should help, as well as taking car when putting wheel nuts on etc to protect the lacquer from chipping and exposing your diamond cut surface.

From JPC himself -

I'd recommend some high temp paste sealant. Search for fk1000p. If your feeling really flush, Swissvax autobahn is brilliant.

I dont really care if someone has poor grammar or cant be bothered to spell check, but that has to be one of the funniest question's i have never been able to read.

Is this you Jonny.  :laugh:
