steve.m Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Cheers guys. I know I'm mad spending so long but I have a serious OCD issue when cleaning, I just get carried away. Rear wheels now done, That was hard work! I was about to put the wheels back on and thought that the wheel arches could do with a quick clean... I got carried away again! Front wheel arches done, rears tomorrow. Before After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think it's just the suspension arm your looking at maybe. i feel your pain with polished wheels. they just need so much care its a right pain. i feel bad not cleaning them after going for a drive...which isnt the way it should be I know It's a bloody pain. I keep thinking about getting them powder coated but that would mean making a decision on what colour to do them and I'm crap with making decisions like that.

TheTurtleshead Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 No, I think it's just the suspension arm your looking at maybe. That's your wastegate piping with thermosleeve covering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 That's your wastegate piping with thermosleeve covering it. No, definitely looks like a suspension arm and braided brake line lol....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) No, definitely looks like a suspension arm and braided brake line lol....... Haha nah, you can see the wg piping hiding in the background near the sump. I presume that's what Kaan is referring to! If he's not and is indeed referring to the brake line visible in the foreground, and has no idea what it does, then he really shouldn't be allowed to do any more work on his own car lol! Either that or Kaan's eyes are lying to him and he's looking nothing! Stevo, what did you use to clean the arches? Looks like goood stuff whatever it was!

j_jza80 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks mate. Used Meguires metal polish, various machine polishing tools and finished off with poor boys wheel sealant. The front wheels were the worst, they took about four hours each. Might I suggest using Brasso wadding instead? I had similar issues with my BBS LMs, but a quick weekly rub around kept them looking in top condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pretty good to start with, I just washed them down and used some back to black on certain areas. Might I suggest using Brasso wadding instead?
