Class One Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Are they lacquered? Has that flaked causing the salt to start corrosion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD3000GT Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 strip the laquer and hand polish them with autosol mate.. Its much cheaper and easier then getting them refurbed,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 As TRD says.Then coat with an alloy sealer(not laquer)Repeat every few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I'm just about to stick my new 19's on next week as my current tyres are fooked , i was very reluctant to put them on this side of winter as i'm not prepared to buy some new tyres for my 18's just for winter . Any ideas what to coat them in before winter ? Would somethging like clear waxoil do the job then just remove it in the spring ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get some poorboys alloy wheel sealant or a good polish and good wax would be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
