    New Alloy Care

    So my new wheels are just hours away from my grubby mitts so what should I do before/after tyres go on them and they are fitted to keep them at their best?

    At my disposal I have HD wax, would it be worth giving them a going over? Or should I invest in a different product?

    The HD Wax will do quite nicely, but if you really want to look after them, you need some of this:

    Miranda, Tippex, J-Lo, The Panda and Red.
    rim wax is the tits, all the crap from roadtrips and trackdays slides off a treat
    1988 FIAT Uno Turbo i.e. - White - "Tippex" - ongoing struggle
    1990 FIAT Uno Turbo i.e. - Red - "Red" - under reconstruction
    1994 FIAT Tipo Sedicivalvole - White - "J-Lo" - the big bummed one
    2003 FIAT Multipla JTD ELX - Silver - "Miranda" - the daily use daddy wagon
    2004 FIAT Panda Eleganza - Blue - "the wifes one" - cute little runabout

    can you spot the odd one out?

    Hmmm i might have to give this stuff a try sounds like it should do a decent job of keeping alloys looking like new.


    Its a working progress with furture mods to come.
