And since you've just got it, you might have the will to remove all the black plugs off to do the job right. Good luck and remember before and after pics if you can...

I had mine painted Gloss Black as I hated the bare ali steps as they are a PITA to maintain.

Got pics of the gloss black look?

I used Wonder Wheels cleaner, apply with the brush supplied and soak with hose, might need to be done twice but it works a treat. I did mine 6 months ago and they still look good. Seal after drying with any bumper shine product, this shines the dimples and seals the metal. Reedler

Wonder Wheels is superb for getting them cleaned up, but I did need to use a green sponge to agitate the pitting.

OKAY I'M THICK...and my son away on holiday!

I have signed up and created a account with photobucket even managed to upload the photo of the car simples (thanks to Sanj)
but i still cant work out how to attached them to the forum

[Sanj]

Hover over the photo you've uploaded to Photobucket (the one you want to show on the forum).

Underneath it, there will be 4 links, 'click' on the last (you'll get a momentary 'Copied' replace the link) and paste paste that to your post.

Done.

If you're unsure, click 'review' on your post rather than 'submit' to see if it worked.
