Wheel polished lip cleaning?
« on: 08 February 2013, 10:02 »
Hey guys, i have a set of bbs lm reps and im finding it very frustrating keeping the polished lips clean, i have since owning them cleaned the wheels as normal then use autosol metal polish on the lips which to be honest imho dont do a fantasic job, i am hoping someone can point me to a better polish and have any tips for sealing them?

Sealing them with fk1000p lasts well.
