I use chemical guys wheel guard,it gives a really good shine and leaves the surface of the monzas really slick.

Cheers mkviken really appreciate the advice as I don't want to go wrong with these wheels lol....yours are looking great...

As soon as the poorboys arrives are start applying the coats to the wheels as there stored in my parents spare bedroom waiting for GTD to arrive.... :grin:

you will find they're dead easy to clean, especially when treated. i didn't take my wheels off but i jacked the car up and did the inside of the wheels while still fitted.

i can just about clean the whole inside of the wheel and the back/inside of the spokes with a wash mit. much easier to clean than multi spoke type wheels!

It's good stuff,my mrs went shopping at sainsburys the other day,when she came out the local car wash gang were stroking the wheels and saying how shiny they look,much to the annoyance of my ten year Old son  :grin:

They are the easiest wheels in the world to clean.

Just make sure you inspect the wheels with there fitter before they get fitted in case they damage them. I made this mistake using quick fit once and I'm 99% sure they marked the rims of the wheels fitting tyres.

I went to kwikfit first to get a quote for tyres & fitting and they quoted me £600 odd but after haggling got it down to 5...

But on the off chance I phoned my old Suzuki garage who said they wud do it for £485 so was a know brainer really! As much as I trusted my Suzuki dealer I inspected the wheels first and took pics and made sure they knew there was no marks what so ever...and told them the cost of them if they marked them in anyway...So that put the frighteners into them and they immediately said there fitting machine wud mark em so they sent them down to Bathwick tyres who did it instead...came back in perfect condition!!
