Seems i scuffed the m235i reversing out of a farm yard in Poland at Christmas.

I've tried chemical guys v32-v38 with an orange, white & red hex logic pad but I can still see some of the slightly deeper parts of it and can feel its ridges with my fingernail.

What should I change next? More abrasive pad?

Wet sanding maybe. Sounds like it might need a bit of paint but you could try the sanding as a hail mary before that.

What do people use for sealing wheels? I've never done it before, but looking at some white rims and want to protect them.

Amazon have got the bissell spot clean on sale right now for 99 quid. Worth it ?
Or should i spend the extra 50 quid to get the pro version ?

@BaileyWolves Looks stunning, how could you even suggest selling it! ;)

The weather will get better soon, better for detailing and better for driving!

And if we're all going to be quarantined I'll finally get some time to polish mine, need to get rid of the swirls and overspray!

And @massivewangers cleanandshiny have rim for 25,20 with code dw10. Currently out of stock, but it looks like no-one has got any stock. Worth it though! It'll last for ages and makes cleaning wheels super easy.

@JamesBryan and @Dr Jekyll

They use something and rate it iirc

I used Carbon Collective ceramic stuff.

Only washed them once but come up ok. Not like super silk though. I think adding a wheel wax will help. I have poorboys stuff. It's ok for a few weeks depending on how often the wheels get dirty. But its cheap and I had some leftover.

I'll look into a better wax in the future.

Thanks! Only looks this good when it's clean and the sun is out though ;)

Nice how clear your headlights are as well, I definitely need to polish mine.

Think that’s the same for all Clios mate I use mine daily so I try to keep on top of it the best I can. I had them refurbed mate last year but run the polisher over them now and again with a compound it keeps them fresh does make a difference to the front end tho
