Some Car Care Questions

[kipper_]

more advice please,

I have a 2001 Tuscan (fireglow red)

1. Some of the paint around the bottom of my wheels arches has been eroded (presumably by road debris being thrown up from the tyres). Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix /advice on prevention (TCUT?)short of a respray?

2. Is it possible to get a replacement gaiter for the gearstick (cream colour) and if so where from.

3. Can anyone recommend a good place for reparing kerb scuffed alloys (18" spiders if that makes a difference)

Thanks in advance

Presumeably the paint damage is limited to the area on the bottom of the bodywork.
Take the paintcode to a car paint supplier and get a fifth of a litre of paint,clean the area with panel wipe to remove all traces of polish, useing an airbrush mist over the area which is showing the primer through. leave overnight and then polish off using G3 paint finisher
(available from the same paintshop) wash off the area with soapy water and buff.
New gaiter can be ordered from dealer not expensive.
Wicked wheels can refurb wheels at your home or place of work you can find them in the Yellow Pages.
