Just Washed The T

[XR06T]

I have thought about taking better care of the rims on my car but they are such sh*t quality.. every one of them has the clear cracking off, so as soon as I get to giving them a good clean, I just get pissed off haha..

car looks great btw cheif!

ya the rims arnt to good, I neglected these but restored them

I got some grandma owned ones in the shed with good new tyres , rim are exactly the same but mint cond

ok to be honest with you, im hopeless at everything apart from PC building , and I was thinking I mite buy a PC and practice on a few old panels bought from the wreckers, ive done some wet sanding and used a mates rotary wasn't to hard

got a RX8 to fully detail $100 getting, the guy saw me driving the T and loved it and wanted me to do his RX8 so ya we agreed on $100

[Chief_XR6T]

I meant in the wheels I can see pearls on 90% angles after a good clean and my formula

Ahh ok, probably just the thick layer of gloss over the powdercoat. I just got a quote for my new rims Chrome 19's

Hey Chiefxr6t,

Im into my detailing and Ive used the above mentioned website for alot of my research, but the main thing with the P21 is that its a carnauba wax. Althought it gives a better and deeper shine, it actually doesnt last that long.

My suggestion and what I do is use a paint sealant first such as Poorboy’s EXP or my fav atm Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant which I polycharge and use with wolfgang pre wax polish. After I have used the sealant, I go to town with the wax, 2 or 3 coats depneding on how much I CBF

Using a sealant alone wont give you that excellent deep gloss effect, but using wax alone doesnt give very good durability
