Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing New Stainless wires

Looking forward to seeing the "new look" car Phil!

This same thing happened on my 3.7 Roadster when new. I was wondering why the steering was so heavy and saw both fronts a bit flatter than they should have been.

I am a heavy user of Meguiars quick Detailer .

A great product IMO.

Regular use of detailer both sides...................

There are no unseen inside edges to the eagle eye.

Emailed MWS - said they are pre-waxed and ready for use - will use the Meguiars Ultimate detailer. Also MWS say their cleaning kit leaves a wax on the surface to keep off the brake dust - so will get some of that . I got the stainless for ease of cleaning/maintenance as the painted wires chip & rust easily.
Congrats - you all got in there before Mr W!! who may suggest protecting from dust with a spray-on neoprene.

But, you'd need clear neoprene Phil, otherwise not much point having nice shiny wheels...

Quite right Dave ...my head is currently dropped ...in shame

The discerning OCD owner will also clean the inside of the rims after most trips out.

I've actually tried Swissvax wheel wax and although the smell is awesome, there's no apparent benefit over other cheaper products.

But the smell is awesome.............

Does it smell of .............fish?


On the stainless wires on my old 4/4 I used Dodo wheel wax. A pain (literally) to put on and buff but worked well enough. I experimented with cloth and brushes to apply it, both had merits for open areas and tight spots, but the buffing was the real pain. I still have it for the alloys. Soft, pink, decent smelling,looks like blancmange but has a waxy smell.

Does anyone know why there is an instruction, I think in the Morgan owners manual, not to pressure wash the wheels? I did send an email to ask the question but never received a reply.
