Hi Lads,
The wife has a few stone chips on her 18inch detroit GTI alloys which are now starting to have a milky corrosion look. This is a common problem with these wheels and its impossible to refurb them to their original finish.
Have heard that you can seal the stone chips with clear nail varnish and stop the milky effect spreading, anyone ever heard of this.
Anyone ever heard of this working

clear nail varnish is a pretty useful tool. use some wet and dry to clean off the corrosion from the affected area, being careful not to damage the good laquer. The wheel will be slightly pourous, so apply the nail varnish in alot of thin coats.
SHOULD work wonders. dries rock hard, won't be broken down badly by grit on the road and aslong as your careful, should be nigh on invisible. If you get any runs, clean it up with nail varnish remover!
Give it a good go, can't make it any worse, would be good to see some before and after shots!
