Ok so I am still only starting to get the vee to how I want it . I mean been a 9500 mile example tht has not seen bad conditions its already perfect . But yet to me it's not just yet

So first off with one wheel ( still have three yet to do )
Apply my product of choice and agitate and pressure wash then dry and polish

Before

During

After (yes some new disc will be required)

Next out with the boot ... And clean the dust

Before

After

Also while the wheels off put the rusty bolts in vinegar then polished with a metal polish ... Good results

After

Did you use Iron X on the wheel arches or is it just a general degreaser?

How'd you polish the wheel nuts? Machine? Or are they just hand done with autosol?

I did use iron x .... I also polished the bolts by hand using t cut metal polish from the supermarket of all places very good stuff ... I will not need to buy new ones

Love this. Unfortunately I don't have the time or patience for this level of cleaning

Same, although I'd add that I don't have the ability either.
Had mine into Polished Bliss in Aberdeenshire though and will get them to clean/protect after winter each year from now on leaving me just to wash, dry and use a quick detailer to top things up between proper cleans.

Don't get me wrong, I clay, polish and wax it every 6 months if I get time, but wheels off and doing arches etc... Mrs R would go nutty

I'm guilty of only cleaning what I can easily see and manage. Next time I'm at Dawn's I'll ask her to take the wheels off.

You've really done a top job on that Simon :bow:

Thanks as I am doing only very low miles anyway in dry conditions should stay nice clean for good . Hopefully getting it over pit in next few weeks as well to do under car
