Sgt Chief Apone is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Alloys are needing some life.

Ok until i can scrap together the money for the alloys i want is there an easy way to get my standard VW alloys to look fresh again. they are bubbled in places but its not till you are about 8ft away that you notice, any suggestions?

Or paint them black and red.(More people with show cars are painting their alloys - I'll do an article on this when I get time!)

You can gently sand back the bubbles and blisters with a fine grit paper or you can buy an alloy wheel repair kits. A good wheel cleaner and a bit of time will have them looking like new!
