Ian Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Now that my car is finished for a bit I am concentrating on getting the bodywork back into order. After 9 months parked up it had become a bit grubby, I've cleaned it a few times since getting it back but this week I've hammered it I've washed it about 4 times in the last week & my wheels have about 8 layers of wax on them Started out at about 11 & finished about 7ish (Stopping in between for dinner & to watch a game of Fußball ) Washed it using 2BM (awaits the usual Bullet Magnet joke ) Dodo Juice Sour Power shampoo Dodo Juice Lime Prime FK100p sealent Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Pro Exhaust & intercooler piping polished with Autols & wirewool Results Shows of the flake in the bumper Its the first time I've used the blue velvet pro & IMO its given a better shine than the supernatural did for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tez162003 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 did you use blue velvet after your sealant? you only really need to use one or the other. wax acts as a sealant, you only need to use a sealant if you use a glaze first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there was a thread on here a while back about it. Some did sealant then wax and others did it the other way round Really liking the gloss black on the wheels, Ian. Thanks They are sooooooooooo much easier to keep clean than the time attacks were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TADDY Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 looks awesome dude and your stance is much better than mine lol Nah, single digit offset FTW True, but you've got 9.5 and 10.5 where as ive got 8.5 and 9.5. Thats an interesting thought if we had the same offset would your wheels stick out an inch more or 1/2 inch more than mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats an interesting thought if we had the same offset would your wheels stick out an inch more or 1/2 inch more than mine? It's half the width more i.e. 1/2" more, since offset is distance (in mm) from wheel centreline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking at 19x10 ET0 allround so at the minute im 5mm further out than you if we forget about tyres for a sec, so after you fit 15mm spacers you will then be 10mm further than what i am you may need a more streched tyre so as your tyre shoulder isnt on the outside of the arch if you follow my madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
