Title: White worm
Post by: lincolnmk5 on 14 April 2010, 12:10

I know theres been lots of posts on whiteworm on Monzas but I wondered if once a minor bit of damage is noticed is there anything I can do to nip it in the bud .

I have just been for tyres and noticed a small white patch forming , not from the edge but from the join with darker inserts .

I am pee'd off as the car is over 4 years old , the wheels have been really looked after but I fear the damage to be done if the patch progresses . Any help/advice would be gratefully received from a great site ,

Keep on GTIing !!!

I THINK once its got under the larquer and started its pretty hard to stop.

Should you kerb it and break the laquer some good wheel sealant around the damage should stop it from forming but it looks like its already got under.

Never know though, someone might have a bright ider.
