Cleaning black wire wheels
In anticipation of our likely trip back down to BHM on Saturday I thought I'd better give Mr Bumble the once over. I used Auto Finesse Mint Rim Wax, which I'd bought earlier on recommendation on TM for the filler cap. I also used a pipe cleaner type spoke cleaner, a microfibre finishing cloth, and lots of little finger exercise. I had the wheels off the ground for ease of access, but on the car.
Surprisingly the finish is much better than with spray on quick detailer which I normally use.
See what you think.

I'm hoping to get down to below 30 minutes a wheel.I just need a bit more practice. (On my own car before anybody gets any ideas ).

I'll give it a try Adrian, against the clock..........
Happy Birthday Graham, you old sea dog. I wondered if you might be making the trip. The forecast is now good so it's game on. If I can get a word in edgeways, I will pass on the message!
Might even see an odd Lotus en-route to their Brands Hatch weekend!

Cheers Dave!
I have an alternative trip - Marshfield Village Show on Saturday, one I try to do every year. Assuming we get an MoT pass tomorrow...
