There was now zero beading water was completley flat on the car.

 

Hand Polish with GTechniq P1 - Hard side of applicator used

Sealed them last year Chris with GTechniq.

 

Once it cools down the winters are going on too. Steelies with Yeti wheel trims! Best winter protection you can get - Leave em in the garage!

Good one

Our Winters will be coming out in the next week or so...if it gets consistently below 7C that is

Well done, looks great, very nice colour.

Looking awesome mate, top job!

Looks to me wheels and tyres are still black..LOL

Well done, a credit to all your hard work, you can come round and start on mine ASAP..LOL

Addingham moorside ?

Yup. Well spotted! Just up the road, better backdrop than my drive.

Just added some cow crap to the arches on the downside.

Looking really nice - thanks for the great write-up and pics.  :thumbup:

 

What new rubber have you got lined up for the fronts then?

Cheers for the comments all.

Samuri - Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's - bought mainly for the tread pattern.

£90 each fitted at my house tomorrow.

Giving them a whirl, last new tyres were Conti SC5 at about £125 each.

Good work Wookiee!

 

Like the reflections of the hills on the bodywork!

 

:thumbup:

nicely done, very shiny.

Great work, looks awesome.

You won't be disappointed with the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's. I've been running these for the last two years + and I find them simply awesome!

Great wet weather grip and they somehow manage to retain their effectiveness right the way to the indicator, and when you consider I've turned up the heat in my little motor, that must say something about them.....

My fronts are at the limit with a little more at the rear, so I'm in need of replacements. I would happily run these forever, but the 215 size is causing me an issue :(

Sorry about calling you woodie lol, damn auto correct!

Again great job

Well done. A really decent job.

Absolutely agree - tread pattern is gorgeous on the Sessanta's! :)

Nice work. Lovely car!
