Well it may have been minging but it certainly cleaned up rather well! Sorry to hear about the latest ding, hopefully the miscreant is currently being punished appropriately :angry:

Thanks Watts.  :smiley:

Rebecca, it's all very well posting those pictures, but really? Until you have your wheel center caps on the right way round, it's only half a job and quite frankly just taking upforum space for no good reason.

Come on girl, get it sorted.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

No.   All the time I know that it bothers you Simon, it worth every bit of forum space just to chisel away at your OCD :D

After months without a wash, my Mk6 finally saw a wash mitt again today! Hoping for decent weather for a few days now so it still looks vaguely like this come MOT time on Wednesday!  :cool:

Sadly my 35 Edition looks about as bad as your R Rebecca, prior to cleaning that is. Quick question, can you recommend a wheel polish sealant? Poorboys seems a bit yesterday now with all the new kids on the block and no matter how hard you try there always seems to be pink leftover somewhere.

thanks

There’s lots of decent wheels sealants and coatings out there Peter.  The likes of Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour, Gyeon Q2 RIM, CarPro DLUX etc, are all very durable long lasting coatings, but ideally are wheels off applications, as they need 24 hrs to cure.  I just use Gtechniq C2v3 or Sonax BSD these days, just applied every month. They are not specific for wheels but I find they’re pretty decent protection if you don’t mind applying regularly. But if you want much greater longevity then one of the aforementioned sealants is what you need.
