OMG Luke. I cant believe how much this has come on since Trax last year when we went down. Keep it rolling with a few interior bits and this is mag worthy for sure. Awsome mate, fair play.

Little update.

Firsty i thought my white speedlines were hard to clean, but these take the biscuit.

ive used rimwax, wheel polish etc, and theres still "dirt" marks on them and black specks on the surface which are unable to come off even with finger tip. any advice? been told to use a metal polish such as autosol?, worth a try?

Also ive ordered some gold center bolts, to replace the chrome ones £72

&

Black Acoustic carpet has been ordered to tidy up the rear.

Those black speck maybe tar. If your going to use Autosol use the fine stuff!

Is there any motorcycle shops/dealers near you? If so ask them if the have a product called Alu-Magic. That stuff works a treat! Might be best off searching for it on the web

Its hard to explain what its like. But as aron said, its appeared on the rim and front wheels mostly. Its kinda like a water residue mark.

anyway i have some autosol, not to sure if its the strong stuff or not, will give it a go though. also this product you have reccomended - is the link below the stuff?

Yeah thats the stuff.

Is it on the front wheels only? Might be brake dust residue?

95% of it is. Theres a few small marks of it on rear, but nothing compared to the front. its got nothing to do with the hub (oil caps) being off as it? did cross my mind, purchased some new ones just incase though.

I'd be careful what you use, nothing too strong or acidic.
