Kerbed alloy less than 24 hours from picking it up

No mate, had it a week now and it's been p!ssin down since wednesday!!!   I had planned on giving it a going over this weekend followed by a few pics but that hasn't happened!


I can't decide whether or not to remove the Autoglym lifeshine the dealer has applied or not? Tbf it's been done very well but i've got loads of detailing products most of which will be redundant if i don't take it off....

Took the top coat off with Isopropanol from wor lass' work then applied 2 coats of C2V3. According to C2V3 literature, it goes on top and bonds with anything already applied, so maybe just hoy a coat of C2V3 on top?

anyone on here tried those alloy gator  alloy wheel protectors wondering if they may be worth a try ?

It would probably cause more damage than good in the long run.
Imagine the grit getting between the cover and the wheel!
After a few weeks you would be guaranteed to have a different coloured ring around the wheel where the guard has been rubbing the grit in.

Its a big no from me.

I managed to make a small dent in the bodywork just above the right rear wheel when installing my son's car seat. Had the car for 3 days...I was also pretty "happy" but you really need to look to see it so I won't be repairing it. Same kind of dent when someone slams his door into your car at the car park.
