Henlo Oppo. Haven’t talked to you all in a minute. Working from home ironically has given me less time to browse Oppo. I’m working from home until at least May 4, and our engine plant is not retooling to make masks as of right meow.

Here’s one of the few things I’ve been doing

I finally put the guest bedroom to use. Put a nice coat of C5 wheel armour on the Terras. Spent one day doing the faces, let cure; then did the inside the following day. One 30 ml bottle is more than enough for a set. I have about a quarter bottle left, so I may finish it off on the faces one last time.

Application was easy, and instructions were clear. Clean the living hell out of the wheel, apply product, let sit for about a minute, and buff off. Eager to get these back on the van this year. Whether it be RallyCross or winter; whichever comes first!

PS, I cant believe how fresh those Sumitomos look after a season of racing and a winter.

That’s why I love Gtechniq. A little goes a long way and more is less.

The small bottles may seem pricey but they go far.

Like the car shampoo, Gwash, two to three caps (10-15ml) per five gallon bucket to wash a car.

250ml = £8.95,

500ml = £12.95,

1ltr = £19.99,

5ltr = £45.00.

If you’ve any gloss plastic on the car, polish any marring off and use the C5 on it. It’ll add a degree of scratch protection to it.

No gloss, but there’s plenty of plastic. I was looking at the trim and tire stuff they sell. Kill two birds with one stone

C5 and C4 are exactly the same, so if you want to do any bear unpainted plastics, it’ll do that.

I use T1 Tyres & Trim for both, well, the tyres and trim. T2 for Tyres is okay, I just find it less durable and why have another bottle that does half of what T1 does.

Right, if I do any plastic or tire prep, I’ll grab some T1.
