    Mixed it at 6:1 and gentley sprayed it with an empty windex bottle. A light brushing and plenty of water rinsing brought it up like new. I'll get into it with the alloy polish during the week.

    Unfortunately no one makes a white wall tyre in the size. I had them on the 1200, looks as flash as a rat with a gold tooth.

    Hey Pedro, now for the psychosomatic illness symptoms and putting them into your head.
    Are you feeling, tired, aches, stiffness, nausea, headaches, congestion, blocked ears or sinus, lethargy, skin rashes or redness, trouble getting out of bed, yawning, depressed, well, energetic.
    If you have any of these you may or may not need to get help.


    Now the fun starts, with the polishing. That is not much fun. I have pretty much given up on the aluminium chequer plate on the Defender and just clean with ali brite now and leave at the dull clean finish. Have not found an effective way of polishing the plate.

    I had all those symptoms before I used the Ali Brite.
    I've got some polished at home that gives a brilliant finish with minimal effort. I'll post the brand for you Craig, when I get off work.

    Almost dab on then wipe off.
    I got mine at the Brisbane Truck Show. Highly recommended by me.

    What about cleaning alloy that you don't want to be bright (shiny)? I need to do the rims on my motorbike, which are a matt allow. Any ideas?

    Ranga,
    The cleaners like ali brite clean to a dull matt finish. Generally if you use these they are cleaners not polishers and if you want a polished finish you have to then polish. So probably what you want anyway.

    The AliBrite is just a cleaner. I had to polish mine after I cleaned them. I still have plenty of AliBrite if you want to use it.
