    I remember seeing a woman drive straight out of an attended car wash, only for it to rain sh*t and piss on the freshly washed car..... :eek::pac:

    It could be worse, you could be this guy at my local filling station a few years back. Washing his car.... And the paint off :eek::eek::eek:

    Alloys are in near perfect condition, the inside of one is a bit flaky though, anyone know how to sort that?

    Is it the paint or lacquer is flaky?

    If it's the paint, sand it down with 2000 grit mainly to feather the edges, mask up the whole thing apart from this spot and just respray it and lacquer it. If it's on the inside, you won't notice it at all ;)

    Nope its on the inside of the alloy, the paint is literally falling off to the steel behind it, I might leave it and see, but i don't want it to get damaged or rusty or anything

    Alloys don't rust, they corrode. Do what I said and catch it while you can before it gets too bad.

    In light of recent events, herself is taking my Legend for a while (smart move, I know) so I get to drive the Wolseley about now. A win-win, really.

    Funny because i think he is spot on.

    I would rather a poster who actually add's content to a forum that one who just constantly puts a negative spin/smartarse comment up on said content.
