Wow..! Thats a bit of a difference! I was hoping you'd be able to get it to come up something like that! Good luck tomorrow! =)

Well done, all it need now is a good polish :lol:

try a cheap pre wash stain remover, a home brand at around $3.50 for a hand spray bottle is all you have to pay. Now spray those rims wait a minute or two, brush and hose down well with water and they will come up a treat. :mrgreen:

I got this hint from another forum and it works!!

Yes

it is very alkaline so rinse well, it will take of that brake dust on your rims.

Great job!

If i tell ya i'll have to kill ya.

Nah, I used a product called

Areo Gloss (Cutting compound) - Cutters & polish used for Planes & such becaue areoplanes have a verry light coat of paint to save weight. it's a super light cutters. because i did not want to take too much off & make the car look like my mirrors

i have no idea weather you can get it anymore....? the tin was pretty old

Alot of Elbow Grease - Not many shops stock this anymore & is hard to come by.

Repo Polish & Wax (Carnauba Wax) as a sealant.

& i have not Clay bar'd it yet :mrgreen:

& a found alot of imperfections in the body & paint as that i have a eye for detail

The benefit of getting old, take your glasses off and everything look great (even the wife :wink:

).
If you want a perfect car don't drive it.
Have you tried to clean the wheels yet?

All passed yesterday & now i just have to deal with the lines @ Vicroads...... when i can afford to pay the Rego & plates.

Ted, No i have not had the chance to do the rims, a little anoyed that it rained yesterday when i drove the car to CNG Automotive in Scoresby yesterday :/ but on the bright side i get to rewash it & have a crack at those rims. AND i got my Cert!

Not much has been done, I got a sticker & a Air Horn set. cant expect much when i had just been re-trenched/sacked from work. so the MX is on the back burner untill then i cant get my plates & rego. :cry:

The car is coming up great man! I can't wait to actually see it roll into the garage cafe. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the spoiler though.
What's the current mod list?
