Got my first stone chip on the rear nearside Monza Shadow. It is very small but it is annoying. I should expect this due to the very large exposed surface area. I dread to think how many more will pepper the wheels in the next few years. :angry:
I love the wheels and they are very easy to kep clean. However, I am afraid our terrible roads will take a heavy toll on them. :sad:

Thanks for reminding me. Just gone and done it.
Lucky I did not throw the lac/clear coat away yesterday!

I have some from my Ford days. Unused. Now in use on a VW wheel! How weird is that?
Ford always provide this with their touch-up paints.
Otherwise, Halfords?

Only with the Metallics and Pearls, I can assure you. :smiley:
Flat colours don't get this from any of the car companies.
At £3 Snoops you got a bargain!

Got my Candy White VW touch up kit yesterday...hoping not to have to use it, but just incase. It comes with a clear coat touch up as well..2 part kit £8..not bad.

Seem to be finding the Candy White is holding up better than the DBP...it seemed softer and a lot more prone to stone chips.

Hi am1w

Send some my way chuck, I have a couple helluva scratches on my alloys from getting thrown in the gutter by white van man :sick:  Poor wee Bonnie doesn't look so bonny with grooves in her wheels.
