Was the one in Prescott called Proclean - ive used them before to polish a set of zender alloys on a mk2 - they offered a same day drive in service and did them while I waited !

Also had a set re-furbed by Pristine - expensive but good !!!
If you contact pristine they will tell you a local tyre place that acts as agent and sends them away for you.

After all my prep the paint formed tiny bubbles all along the ridges of the rims, these do not disappear as the paint drys.
I will be returning my unused cans this PM and getting some proper Hycote paint.
I will never get back time wasted in having to sand back off the piggin hammerite.
It doesn't seem to dry properly which doesn't help.
I do know the right words to use but I am expressing restraint!

Do I look like Frank Spencer? of course I did.
The hammerite even did me the disservice of going on perfectly on the test patch I did on the inside of the wheels!
Then, as soon as I sprayed the lightest coat on the rims, a lovely little line of bubbles appeared along all the 90 degrees edges which refused to go away.
Oooh Betty.

Probably not as tough but should be easier to maintain.
