Bought some new plates and partook in some wheel cleaning and exhaust polishing today.
First off, new numberplates, nothing exciting like 3/4 size, or illegal spacing etc etc
Then decided to try some Meguiars Wheel cleaner.
Inground dirt and brake dust on wheels before cleaning
Applying the wheel cleaner
Leave to dry for a few moments, sponge off, dry and the end result
Then onto the exhaust, I find using Brasso Duraglit a good cheaper polisher for chrome or stainless exhausts.
The exhaust before, note this was after sponging loose crap off.
Applying the Brasso Duraglit
Leave for a few mins, then polish off with kitchen towel
There you go, my day today

Brasso is something i've often used also Steve, with good results! Looks very nice, plates are a simple clean touch also!
