I recently had my wheels refurbished and went with a painted finish instead of the original polished as I want them to last longer. I am well pleased with the results so thought I would share the pictures.

First post, be kind please :)
I've just bought my first ever Mercedes - a 2006 280 CLK. The dealer had done a good job cleaning and preparing the car, but as part of that, the windows have been polished with something that appears to be interfering with the automatic windscreen wiper sensors...
Brake dust has kinda baked onto the rims and hardened with the icey weather we've had of late.
Whats the best stuff to get it off with and polish the rim with?
I use autosol and that normally gets the stuff off but i need something stronger this time!
Any recommendations?

If so, what do I ask for, and does anyone know any companies that could do it?
There are no tyres on...
From my E270 cdi which recently sold - these were the factory wheels which have spent most of their lives in my garage as I fitted 19" alloys.
Lovely lovely condition

I've just had my rocker covers polished. I originally had them painted red, but after a few engine niggles and removal of them on on numerous occasions, the red paint looked like its had been through the wars!
I decided to have them polished, i previously did the air filter assembly myself...
