Default Alloy wheel refurbishment

I thought I'd give these guys a try, since they are relatively new:

Prestige Alloys

Since the wheels were originally PVD-coated in black chrome (which it is illegal to carry out in the EU) it had to be powder coat.

But I'm very pleased with the results.





etc.

You might want to slap some of this on:

Dan Hale recommended it to me and it does make them much easier to clean. The smaller size JUST does four alloys. Shop around but there's not much in the way of price difference. I think I used cleanmycar dot co dot uk. Fair price, sent quickly.

Thanks Gad!

I was gonna apply Rim Wax (!) once they've dried down a bit, but I might give that a go instead.
