Heys:wave:,

You can spray them again by yourself.

But they will wear again.

Thanks, i got the wheel cleaner for brakedust by meguiars. Interested in the polish, for the brand new look.

IMO the paint is just old.. you cant 'shine' old paint.. just respray takes 10 mins and is hell easy as per the DIY thread

Then just follow the direction on the polishing compound and rub the old grime away. When they are nice and smooth and looking good follow up with some cleaning wax to restore the protection. If you can find or borrow an electric buffer it will make the job much easier and quicker.

Watanabes FTW! Those are an absolute beauty! How much did you get them for? Are they 14's?

Is that a massive crack I see? Or just a chip in the paint? :S
