Decided it was time to make the change from my old Conti's and try the New Michelin SuperSports
![evilgrin :evilgrin:](https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/Smileys/newsmileys/evilgrin.gif)
So the wheels were stripped of their old wheel weights well cleaned using various brushes/iron-X/tardis etc before visiting the tyre shop.
Then with the Michelins on it was time for a bit of pampering.
Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour was the order of the day. A nano sealant that bonds to the paint to give up to 2yrs protection

Here are a few shots of the work....
First off I started with a good hand polish using the Gtechniq P1 polish.

Then my OCD started to show as I decided to paint the wheel weights in BBS paint

So after the paint had dried and the wheels well polished it was time for the C5.

Then using the IR heaters the C5 had a few hours to cure.

CentreCaps were also C5'd

Wheel weights looking good....

All that was left was to treat the new tyres to some Swissvax Pneu.

All done.
