No it's not, But to the same extent I'm not worried about using it. Rain or shine I'll use it when I can.

Thanks. :D

The only thing I use on the wheels is the C/G wheel cleaner, I will take them off soon and give them a coat of something like this. http://cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/wheels-t ... p_197.html

Obviously I use Z16 on the tyres. Love that stuff :cool:

Thanks fella, The pics were taken at a strip of road near me, Think it's an old airfield?

Ryan, Yeah I know I have too much time on my hands but what else is there to do when everyone else is at work?

Beer sounds good! :D

No it's 3M stuff mate, I get it from Tim @ www.cleanyourcar.co.uk

http://cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/accessor ... /p_79.html

Really really sticky, stays on even if product goes on it. Pretty blue colour too which is a bonus :P

(Always had top service from Tim too.)
