New wheels and a proper clean

[Garett]

I bought a set of Tethys off ebay a few weeks ago and had them refurbed in Anthracite. The old 16" mimas were looking a bit scabby and weren't the smartest looking wheels to start with anyway.
As I had new wheels I also needed new tyres, National Autocentre have some really good deals so I thought I'd try out the Barum Bravuris 2's. I notice a few others on here have used them and been happy and they seem to get good reviews elsewhere too.
With the shiny new wheels fitted the rest of the car was letting it down badly, I hadn't washed the car in over a month and I haven't polished it since I've had it! So I have spent most of the afternoon listening to the footie whilst cleaning and polishing, nice way to spend a saturday afternoon! I used Bilt Hamber Autobalm, which is a polish and a wax in one and its dead easy to use and I'm very pleased with the results.
Enough of my wittering heres the results....

Looking good there! How much to do mine please if I come to you? LOL

I'd just charge you my usual day rate cos I'd have to take the day off work! ;)

I've not spent an afternoon cleaning a car so pedantically for getting on 4 years!

I've done a few minor jobs today, but I stopped short of cleaning my cars, as it looked as though it could have rained at any stage. It did stay fine though, but I'll see how tomorrow is for cleaning. I'm eager to get a decent coat of polish on the cars due to relentless bird sh-t.

Good job you have done there.

Seriously though looking good mate, where did you have your wheels done and how much if you don't mind me asking. I am in Hazel Grove and looking for a good refurbers.

Cheers for the comments people, I'm really pleased with how the car looks now, I was always a bit dubious of the colour and used to think wish my car was blue/black etc but when its polished and in the sun it looks superb.

Wheels were done by a company in Preston called F&M Powder coating in Preston, it was £35 per wheel, but is usually £40.
