Finally got round to cleaning the side steps

Post by Nick73 » Sun Apr 24, 2016 7:30 pm

My little machine  :) nothing fancy done to it, but still a fav of all the 4x4's Ive had.

No before and after, but as others have said, original wonder wheels works a treat

It was actually pretty quick. 

Wurzel - I just used original wonder wheels (not the new hot wheels one).  brushed it on, left it for a bit, scrubbed with one of those washing up sponges thats rough on the top.  repeated and rinsed ;)
