Got in touch with Blackcircles as I found out I've got a slightly mishapen Michelin PS4. They are sending a new one out and then picking up the old one later in the week. Brilliant customer service, highly recommend.

Quick wash. Weather is sh!t but a weekly clean makes it’s so much easier. Really want to get the wheels off for a proper clean and seal plus need to get Sealant topped up. Not enough time  :wink:

Looking sharp there in Tungsten Jim. Such an underrated colour. Took me about 5 years to decide that I liked it, now the more I see the more I love it.

Probably wouldn't have been my first choice but really do like it now and think it does suit the GTI particularly.

Cheers Watts, there is a nice G-Techniq product called T1 which does tyres but is also great on plastics  :smiley:

That looks like good stuff Jim, I've got a couple of products in my detailing warehouse (aka my 4x4 shed...) but if they don't do a good job I'll get some T1.

That’s what I was thinking. Looks more like Limestone Grey - especially in the second picture.

Yes, think I used a pic that had an autocorrect filter applied  :rolleyes:

Here’s how it looked this morning. Although Tungsten does change in different lights and sometimes can almost look gold...
