    Oh and I also got my aircon regassed today at Aircon Direct in Ebbsfleet. Cant recommend them highly enough. 45 minutes and £70 for a full system check (all working) and regas (prob first since it was new!).

    Website is a trail of thought type affair, but if you’re in the SE and need a recharge then give them a go.

    Z4 Coupe Monaco Blue: Progress Thread (wheel sealant)

    Post by inkey$ » Thu Jun 24, 2021 10:27 pm

    Thanks all. I had to take the car out today just to go look at them again; I love them.
    Before I did though, I put on a couple of layers of Poorboys Wheel Sealant, just to help protect a little.

    They look really nice but as Zedebee said look out for the kerbs as I dont think even Poorboys sealant will help protect them from that :rofl:
