took my wheels off one by one cleaned everything behind them and the backs of them, painted my brake calipers gold and put it all back together again, taking it out into the countryside later looking good at 1 year old DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,
I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

Zag Thanks
I just used gold hammerite, as I had 1/2 a tin left over from doing the other car 3 years ago, it has survived well on that, the brake dust etc just jet washs off as the paint surface appears to go quite hard, so thought Id use it on the landy as well (cheap skate I am) Hope you are well all the best Rob DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS, I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

Careful Zag, it's a slippery slope. Before you know it you'll be eyeing up 20 inch rims, chrome A bars and all manner of non-standard accessories

I don't think even Zag would do that plus it'd be to much to clean! I've only got valve caps and MT's on mine  |
