![]() The Muffin Man | 02 MC Wheel Detail Received my CG Wheel Guard last week and a few other bits so I decided to get stuck into my wheels this afternoon :thumb: Some nice clickable thumbnails for you and the steps I took. Apologies if any pics are not amazing quality..... Before: Jacked up the MINI and removed the passenger side wheel to reveal awfully dirty arches and disgustingly dirty wheels! ![]() ![]() Step 1: Mixed up a strong shampoo solution with Megs Shampoo Plus in a spray bottle. I didnt measure the dilution ratio I just put a little extra in the bottle than I normally would to make it a little stronger Sprayed it on the arches and scrubbed everything i could off with a brush. Quick rinse followed by more shampoo spray and i used a bit of wire wool to aggregate some of the dirt. Dried with a microfibre.![]() ![]() Step 2: Scrub the wheel, back and front and bring it back to life again! There were a few spots of tar etc that I just couldnt shift, maybe when I get the time I will get some clay and tar remover on there! ![]() Step 3: Dry wheel and apply a quick coat of AG SRP which I buffed off after hazing. Followed by a coat of CG Wheel guard, left to haze then buffed off. Step 4: Dressed the arches with Poorboys Bold and Bright, fitted the wheel back in place, wiped down the tyre and again dressed with Poorboys Bold and Bright. ![]() ![]() ![]() Im really happy with the result, and managed to get both passenger side wheels done before it started to rain Hopefully get the other 2 done within a week :thumb:Comments welcomed Cheers, Dan |
