turbodreams Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 cheers for the comments, i like the wheels too, the wheels are immaculate, but the grime on them is pretty bad, i spent hours scrubbing them and the dirt barely moved, they are hard to keep clean!

turbodreams Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 haha excellent thanksguys.Phil, i have the turtle wax chrome cleaner, it didnt even take the grime off, they are supposed to have a polished shiney silver lip, but its covered in the dust and grime, you cant see the shine!!!
