Use Meguiars Vinyl and Plastic spray on plastic, WD40 will stain or dry it out.
Not good!

well they look good as a one off!! i used it as i had tried to put black BBS center stickers over my red centers, once i washed it they fell off  :grin: and left loads of sticky stuff behind, they were now starting to turn black due to sh!t from the road, but once i sprayed the center with WD40 it ran onto the alloy so i decided to do the whole wheel (all 4) and looks  :cool: :cool: as there is no brake dust clupms on any of the rim now,
maybe worth doing once every 6 months  :smiley:

A thin coat of wd40 on your Monza IIs after washing will help stop white worms forming  :smiley:
