    Just a quick thank you to Bryce for his alcantara cleaning tutorial that he kindly put up a little while ago.
    It was so easy that even a dunce like me could follow it!
    I'm pleasantly surprised at how easy and clean my wheel became, if slightly revolted by what was left on the cleaning towels...

    During:

    After:



    Roll on HBT3!

    Had my VW van wheel retrimmed by Jack/Jaczek too - great job. Less than week turnaround but that was on an exchange basis (he sent me a retrimmed identical wheel which I swapped over then sent him my original wheel in exchange). Done by post.

    It is a nice job, Pete.
    Wish I'd had the vision for something a bit more avant-garde at the time, could have been a tad more creative!

    Thanks T.

    It's dead easy when you have the imagination of an 8 year old.

    Yes a good job done.
    I just wanted my wheel back and for a specific timescale, as my car was booked in for some work prior to that.
    All good stuff!

    Looks great! Glad you found value in the write up

    Bet it feels much better too! it's surprising how well all that grime hides in the fibres.
