Polo arches and rims
Morning guys.
I needed to replace the tyres on my vehicle this December and decided it was a good opportunity to do a good "spring" cleaning of the arches and rims. Very hard work but just as rewarding when the job is done.... thing is I now spend 20mins just on the rims everytime I wash my car hahaha. My method for the rims was as follows: APC soak and brush agitation Sonax extreme cleaner soak Eucaluptus oil treatment on Tar (also found a wipe with the oil on the inside of the rims worked nicely) clay rinse Wax For the arches: APC soak and plenty brush work Rinse Apc soak again and more brush work rinse Liberal application of bare bones. Sorry about the date in the pics... I forgot to update before I started First time post so I'm still learning all the tricks. Thank you in advance for looking My arsenal of attack for the project..... My new favourite product would be eucaluptus oil Thanks woodie (i think) for that tip... works wonders for removing tar spots. Does anyone have comments on their experiences with bare bones I was happy with the initial application but was hoping for more durablility it lasted about 1week (we did have a fair amount of rain though) It did work nicely on my engine compartment though. Thanks again for looking ...... next project will be the body work. |
