Just give them a really good clean, getting any tar spots off and any tarnishing from the brake dust. Key the paint with some pre-soaked P800 wet or dry paper, wash again and thoroughly dry. I would wipe them over with a paint prep wipe after that. Prime the wheels first and once that has dried, as per manufacturer's instructions, give them 2 - 3 light layers of colour coat. Leave to harden for a couple of days, rub 'lightly' with wet or dry P1500 (wet) to key for lacquer. Same process as per the colour coat. Stand back and admire. Gary

Gary your a proper legend I cant wait to spend some time on my car. I did what you said with the seats and they are a lot softer now although the heat is evaporating the cream, give it another coat and its absorbing it. Defo gonna do the wheels like yours. Mine are starting to blister now though so any advice?

Regards the seats, only thing I can think of is to park in the shade for a while, until the conditioner has fully penetrated the hide. I created a thread on refurbing my Craters a couple of weeks ago, getting right up to the lacquering stage, so that might help. Link: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=151365 Best asking questions about it on there, instead of us hijacking Ricks thread, on his return to the X40 clan. :-) Gary
