howzit guys - blaqboi - 30-04-2009 08:49 PM New to the forum an detailing. Looking to learn as much as i can about the art. I finally got tired of collecting scratches from the local carwash and that is the reason i ended up here. can you guys share your views on the following: I have high polished rims. How do you properly wash and mantain high polished rims(what products to use) ![]() Is there anywhere around Jhb/Gp where i can get a detailing startup kit. RE: howzit guys - Liqui-Moly - 30-04-2009 08:54 PM Hello and Welcome ![]() High polished rims... Im assuming you have a mk5 GTI? lol Thats the only time I have ever heard that term used... hehe You can use a normal rim cleaner (I supply) and then you can use pretty much any LSP or wax you want on them. I use Collonite on the rims but there is a lovely product called Rimwax which has had some brilliant reviews... Give that a try. I will let Carn and the other JHB guys help you with a starter kit. Have fun! Mike RE: howzit guys - Carn - 30-04-2009 09:04 PM Hi blaqboi and welcome. If you looking to learn about detailing then you have come to the right spot ![]() I am not certain what exactly you mean by 'high polished rims' but I will have a stab at a few common ones : If it is the diamond cut finish that is cleared over (similar to many deep dish wheels and the Mk V GTI) then just about any regular paint polish should help bring back some of the shine. If however they are the bare polished aluminium type then a fine metal polish (Meg's NXT) would be what I would recommend. Some of these polished lip style mags are also cleared over and as such would require some polishing with an normal clear coat type polish as already mentioned ![]() As far as a starter kit goes I can help you out there ![]() RE: howzit guys - blaqboi - 01-05-2009 08:19 AM thanks guys for your comments. Carn what would your startup kit consist of. Also what am i looking at price wise.

Why dont you just add a URL to your Signature so people can see what you sell . Your marketing is rather poor RE: howzit guys - Liqui-Moly - 03-05-2009 12:49 PM Hello there I dont ram my products... If you read the OP you would see he asked what products he should use on his rims... I suggested my rim cleaner and Rimwax. I also said I use Collonite. I dont even stock Rimwax and Collonite. Don does! Whats wrong with that? FYI I also suggested that Carn put together a starter kit. I could also have done this yet... I asked Carn... How is that ramming? And thanks.. .Will add a URL to my sig... Never thought of that... (Been a long week). Mike |
