Advice I was given about Poorboys Wheel Sealant:

Apply first coat, leave for 15 - 20 mins, then buff off.

Apply second coat, leave for 30 mins, then buff off.

Apply third coat, leave overnight, then buff off.

 

You will find that with each coat, it gets a little bit more slippery :)

Once the coats are on, it's just a simple matter of taking a microfibre and giving it a quicj wipe after a days drive until the next proper clean.

Hope this helps

Your Dad has got it made, he gets it dirty, you keep it clean :surrender: 27 days isn't long though :)

 

Thanks for the info on the poor boys did not know that!

Luckily no hose pipe ban in Northern Ireland.. Don't know what I'd do!

Doesn't he just!!

 

At least it will be all nice and ready to go when you are allowed to drive it. Those wheels came up really nicely.

Lucky guy with the plate, Adam, being from NI myself and knowing no matter where any car is bought the last letter is a Z, I figured it wouldn't be hard to get something ending in 350 or 3500, not according to various number plates selling sites! They only seem to sell multiples of the same number or very low numbers :angry:

Haha yeah fella the previous owner got it and gave it to me when I bought the car :)

 

I was looking at AD56 ZED which is available for £199

 

AD = Adam

56 = late 06 (mines dec 06)

ZED = ..well this one explains itself..

 

Problem being it wouldn't be a NI plate :(
