Did some work on my wheels over the weekend 
Had intended to get going with my Autoglym Polar pre-wash, wash & seal using my new pressure washer (complete with snow foam lance
) but the queue's outside Halfords on Friday (to get the Polar products) dictated otherwise 
So I did a 'normal' wash on my car and turned my attention to the wheels...
My black wheels were in excellent condition TBF for a 10 year old car. Only have my car 1 month and the seller put 4 fresh tyres on all corners and touched up the alloys to have them looking really good
I only needed to touch up a few nicks and some minor alloy wheel rash and I did this with some black nail polish and an artists fine tip brush.
Worst part of the wheels were these:
So they were changed for these:
Wheels looking close to 100% now with Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel applied.
I picked up a DA machine polisher in Argos on Friday on sale for €46/£41 (yep that cheap). It's been well reviewed by many. The backing plate supplied is 6" with a 7" pad... obv too big so I've ordered a 4" backing plate and some 5" pads and plan to give my black paintwork an all-over compound, polish & wax... then maintain it using Autoglym Polar Seal applied with the pressure washer and just rinsed off
