Ive had them off today and used every product in my arsenal inc some things you shouldnt use.

They've been left for so long on bare wheels by previous owner its in the metal now.
Dunno whether to paint them or just leave it till i get my new ones
Becareful if painting, Spraying!!

ask www.a-b-w.co.uk see if they can do a quick blow over on them untill you think about new wheels??

Mick has been on mine all morning. We tried Meguirs Tech Wax, which amazingly came up nicer than Swissol. Very shocked with the result.

Also metal cleaned my exhaust. Will post some pics in a sec

Well done mate, get yer piccys up

I think theres an awful lot of hype surounding Swissol and Zymol products, Ive used both inc Zymol titanium wax which is £120 a tub, personally i dont like them to use or was i particularly impressed with the finish they give.

Im NOT saying they're not any good, im just saying that IMO and ive seen lots of results, you can get better finishes from products that are a fraction of the cost when used correctly

I use a few mate, i wouldnt recomend it on your car cos its designed for dark cars but my finishing wax is Poorboys Nattys Blue

They do a white one which is ordinary Nattys paste wax,

look here mate www.polishedbliss.co.uk

or email Richard ^^^^^^ and explain your car and colour etc and he will tell you whats best.

Your car has to be prepared first before using the wax as it wont work to its best potential.

Also look here

www.detailingworld.co.uk

Hope this helps bud
