Will the polish keep the dirt off the white wheels then ? I wouldn't think of not getting the white wheels, they look amazing

I had white on both my MINIs, wouldn't be without my white wheels!

The polish makes the wheels shiny and slippery, and gives brake dust and dirt less chance to stick on. Easy to apply on wheels that are already clean.

Good luck with the wait...

I'm getting Supa Guard put on my wheels. Hopefully the brake dust should wipe off

I thought that the 'main' reason that people buy new MINIs is beacuse they hold there value so well? Especially MCSs if people do not wnat to sit in the queue, and then can get new spec new model with less niggles without loosing any money?

although this is less of a case now as the waits arent as long (?)

Dealers will price second hand Cooper and Cooper S as high as they can and get away with it,but thats not a true reflection with selling the cars privately.

You do lose money,but to buy another MINI to have less niggles is wrong as the car has been in production now for 2 years so should'nt have any niggles.

The length of time you wait for delivery all depends on which dealer you use and what part of the country you live in.

Great colour choice btw bboyz.

Polish won't keep the brake dust off but it will make it far easier to clean em, its a must as Bad Manners has stated.

First couple of thousand miles are a nightmare, but the pads will settle down some. Still you will be cleaning em often
