Only took about an hour to clean and dry it but have been topping up the layers of wax over the past few weeks for winter so it looks mint after just a clean

I do really like the Super T's but wanted a change and love these wheels. Still got the super T's and no doubt they will be back on the car at some point

Fair enough. The paint is immaculate. One thing though, the bar behind the grille, id put some black insulation tape around it so you cant see it
