Hi, you got any ideas on how to clean break dust off dipped wheels?

If a regular car wash shampoo doesn’t cut it, you can use an alkaline all purpose cleaner like Meguiar’s D101 or Optimum Power Clean (diluted accordingly). Alkaline wheel cleaners like Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect will also work. Avoid strong degreasers or acid based wheel cleaners and you should be okay. Be sure to use a soft brush like like a Speed Master wheel cleaning brush. Gently agitate, rinse, and repeat if necessary.

Not bad. I’m driving to Stockholm in December which is 1200Miles one way. 500+ journeys are always a long.

Ouch, I can't complain too much, it's been spread over 5 days. I'm sick of the sight of the M42/M1 though. The most I've done in one go is 400 miles, from Swansea to Newcastle.

Mass monopoly, and the fact the DVLA is run by retards. The UK is probably the only place where the driver is insured not the car.

Ah so that explains why my Irish mate is able to drive around in his Dad's 435i and Elise all summer. Whereas it's technically illegal for me to move my mother's A-Class out of the way onto the road to get my car out in this country.

Ha! UK insurance is a joke.

It really is. I don't know how they can get away with it.

Same. Even crappy ones are too much, I'd rather buy a used Cayman S.

Exactly, I've always wanted a 3.2 Carrera but people are selling them for up to £40,000 now, you can get a Cayman R for that type of money!
