cheers simon

 

i was not aware you had not bonded your lightweight???

 

more info rqd ????????

 

of topic i took the lightweight for its built up examination just prior to xmas ,

i bought it home unloaded it of the trailor and shut the shed up ,left it over xmas and went back about ten days later to find things growing on the exposed panals and the wheels.

i have flatted the panals with 1200 wewt and dry and added some oil to protect the panals , my bigest prob is the wheels they have been eaten !!!!!!!!!!

there are large colonies living on my wheels, they were brand new , they now look 5 years old.

the thing has even eaten through the laquer,

the wheels are toast.

the thing is the car was on the trailor and sheeted up the thing that has attacked the wheels must have been droped by another and im left to pick up the bill to have the wheels refurbished.

 

rant over

[Guest gdc]

i wish i knew

 

they are bolloc sed

they have been eaten by an alloy parasite.

the damage has gone deep into the alloy and unless irub it out with wet and dry i am not going to get rid of it

i am gutted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it looks like an acid attack!

but i dont know what it is ,

the van that pulled the trailor is ok

so i am at a loss

That's what happens when salt water gets in under the laquer I would think.... Maybe the laquer on yours wasn't up to much??

 

Just an idea...

This brings back memories, i was driving along late one cold night and a gritter splattered my car that had tsw alloy wheels. i didnt get round to washing it for a while. The front wheel was fine but the back wheels laquer was badly affected and had almost gone brown in places
