Title: Take two sets of le castellettes into the shower ! Yup !
Post by: gibby on 23 May 2005, 20:52: I was thinking of getting my wheels refurbed, but then these little puppys came up (see pic below), so I'm now the proud owner of two sets of le castellette wheels. They need a little bit of polishing to bring them up really mint but even as they are now they make my old ones look scabby !Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â :grin:

Anyone any tips on polishing pimp daddy bling wheels ? I've just bought some autosol but wondered if anyone else had any tips or products to try ?Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â :undecided:

EDIT: Oh yeah, big thanks to gti89 for going to look at them for me first to make sure they were as good as the pic and then letting me kip at his house on Saturday night. :smiley:
