General Winter Habits

Boys

Excuse the laziness, I should be doing 2 different topics here...

Can anyone recommend a top notch alloy cleaner ?

Also what do you tend to do during the winter months to keep the old girl from getting stiff - what with rain, frozen/filthy roads, lack of use of use and battery maintenance etc..

No, steer clear - these are not reccommended as they eventually strip the coating away resulting in early corrosion. Just wax wash and then a coating of wax for protection.

I've used Car Plan Wonder Wheels for years without any issues.

If its not garaged then i'd recommend getting a cover or shelter for it. Also try not to stamp on the accelerator as these cars are known to spin in cold damp conditions.
