LOL... I'd hate for that to happen to me - some wayne kerr passing off a 1 year old car with a grazed alloy on the sly  :laugh:  The graze is hardly noticeable and will only be spotted if the dealer does a thorough check on the car - the 'keep your wheels dirty' is good though  :wink:  But it will look strange when rest of the car looks mint  :grin:

dont worry about it 2 much.. I had mine at the rolling road tuesday, not only did it loose compression on 2 cylinders he reversed the car outside and f**ked two of my wheels aswell... if its light marking on yours it car be done without 2 much hassle... ive had nasty marks which ive 800grit wetndried then 1200, 1500. 2000 then buffed with some compound and they have looked mint...

when you clean them make sure the wheel cleaner you use doesn't have any form of acid in it, otherwise it will start eating at the lacquer chips.

Try Diamond polishing in birmingham and also google spit and polish, they are pretty good so i hear.

When I used to be into the Honda sceen I did a major balls up getting on the RR during a meet, loads of members all stood around as I drove over the RR and into the fans on the other side, scratching the bumper on my S2000 and looking a complete noob!  what was worse is one of the lads filmed it  :embarassed:
