Used to run 17" BMW Style 45 wheels with Alpin rubber but upgraded to a second staggered set of 18" Classics with Pilot Sport Alpin tyres this yearScooBeeFive wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:46 pmAlways an exciting time - I'll hopefully swap mine over this weekend too. What wheels do you run as winters out of interest?

Hey,
How and Why? How did you remove coating and why would you need too?

What I did on my Alpina yesterday?
Tightened the battery connections. Car runs and starts great.

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?
Despite following the instructions and applying/removing it very carefully I kept on finding ‘high spots’ in the coating that would show up in certain lighting
I’ve applied 2-3 cearamic coatings to several cars and just feel that the product is overly hyped.
The coating was easy to remove with a machine and a light cut polish.

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?
Think it depends on the product, I have had 2 cars done and was very impressed with the results.
The 240 was 2 days paint correction then one day for the ceramic and one day for the hydrophobic coating. It was Gtechnic. I have just bought the wheel coating for the XD3 as not taking the weeks off every time I wash it!

Adam,
I think that looks absolutely fabulous, top marks for a cracking finish

I can’t take the credit it was a mate who run his own detailing business. He has now stopped, so I’m working on him to do the XD3.Steve G B3S wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 4:51 pmAdam,

First family day out in the new bus - Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales in bright sunshine and snow showers!
Cruises like a dream on the motorway and has highly impressive overtaking ability on the A roads. Plus the kids love the pan roof- win win

Small world, we were at Bolton Abbey on Thursday gone, parked in the same car park by the look of it, but sans ALPINA.Marc 76 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 8:57 pmFirst family day out in the new bus - Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales in bright sunshine and snow showers!
