Don't use car wash you lazy git. Messes up paintwork as well

If you see where i live mate youd know y i use a car wash. Its on main road so aint easy just get out the hose pipe :smiley:

Right so my plan to get the santa monicas too oem finish is not gonna happen. Due to them im having a diamond finish face to them im getting refurb quotes 300+ :cry:

Is there any way to diy diamond finish?  :undecided:

I may jus have to get them done anthratic grey. Really wanted keep them oem as they look awesome wen mint :sad:

Ouch steep that  :cry: 

I'm not 100% sure tbh but i would say its more a wheel specialists job due to how a diamond finish is done  :undecided:

they do look awesome when mint as you say but anthratic grey would still look  :cool:

Ah man im going to just sand them back then and diy em. Aint paying 300+ for a refurb no matter how good they would look :lipsrsealed:
