As a woman kev i think i wil have to disagree with you there thats a bit sexist do ya think....as woman driver i can honestly say that i have seen more men kerb their cars and damage their beloved alloys acting the big man in a rush hour jam trying to beat the traffic and get ahead of every1 else.....and i can honestley say that i am no standard woman driver...... kerbing my alloys is not my scene so behave ya sel now yeah :roll:

wife? or nitromors?

both can be really nasty in the wrong hands!

the latter can be brought from halfords the former on the internet - www.thaibrides.com

one is just paint stripper the other one is probably a former stripper.

to get a mirror finish on alloys will require a polishing mop and compounds (kits from www.thepolishingshop.co.uk ) and many hours of work with a drill and will give you numb hands.

alternatively use the new wife to do the job for you.

depends where you get it, about 8 quid a can but you tend to use quite alot if your paint is thick.

I did the same, plastered the wheels in nitromors then used a pressure washer on them. Took a couple of goes but a lot easier!
