Day 5 - Alloy Damage
Today marks Day 5 of the project.
With Spring here and the weather starting to improve, I decided that today would be the day I washed my car for the first time of 2010.
Cleaning the alloy wheels, I realised why I used to wash them every couple of weeks. The grime is well and truly ground on, and I've got some bubbling damage... damn... Time to dig out the Supergard!
This, rather embarassingly, is about as significant as today will get.
alloys
Yes. Those alloys are meant to be white... they are just dirty.
I apparently hit a pot hole or something... or so I am told by the dude at the garage.... you can see the alloy is a bit bumped.
Got new tyres this week to... when putting them on, they like to make as much dirt on the alloy as possible as you can see.
