Just bought this Muc Off tyre shine gel from tesco for £6.50, thought id give it a go as I've ran out of tyre shine.

Before

After

Good results and from reviews I have read, it last a while but I shall see about that one. It does smell nice though haha

Has it made a noticeable difference? Must fill out the wheel arches nicely. Take it you got longer wheel bolts aswel?

You could use a citrus pre wash.

Magifoam is pretty crap to be honest. Magifoam may slightly be better on a really crappy dirty car than just a jet wash.

I second that. Have found better results using VP Citrus pre wash than VP snow foam.

yes m8,
had the longer bolts with the spacers
the orions were 7.5j x 18 with 15mm spacer and the team dynamics are 8j x 18 with 10mm spacer
looks ok tbh

Cheers mate, what did you spray them? Gloss or matte?

 

[toosmiles]

repainted the side grills off the front bumper,2 coats of laquer and they came out mint until the wind blown them over as they were baking in the sun

Cheers mate, what did you spray them? Gloss or matte?

Gloss mate, the grille was matte before hand but was chipped all over. Has about 6-8 layers of paint plus lacquer now

My grille is matte at the moment, wanting to spray it gloss soon. Did you prime it? And did you do thick layers??
