I hate it when this sort of thing happens, you have plans to carry out a task one day, but you decide to change plans in favour of time. The task/job goes wrong, which leaves you thinking... why did I not just leave it? |

Really sorry to hear that Cliff.
Why is it that every job always seems to create several more . Have a safe journey to Roverfest. Andy. |

It's a relatively small chip, but right in the centre so it catches the eye. The money doesn't bother me so much as the fact that it was self inflicted. Such a plonker! Just been out and had a go with some touch up paint. It looks a little better, but as always, the paint isn't a great match when it's right in the middle of a panel. I'll be a lot happier in a week or so when it's all sorted . Hey ho. Cliff

Got the other 3 arches and wheels cleaned & dressed today without incident. Also flatted down and polished the touch up I did yesterday. Looks a little better, but sadly, there's a very small dent around the chip (like a "door ding") that shows up when the light catches it.
It'll do for now - hopefully the nice clean tyres will be a sufficient distraction (as long as they stay that way). Cliff

Glad to hear you for the rest of the wheels done. I have been using Autosmart Fusion for arch and tyre desssing. Its a new one and it works well so far.

Not any more - spent it all on tyre shine.
First time I've tried one of the more expensive dressings. It does seem noticeably better than the spray on stuff I usually use, and yes, it drys quite quickly. You can touch the tyres without getting dirty\greasy hands. Hopefully it'll last a while. Cliff
