My Stag returns from the bodyshop today after a bare metal respray. Can't wait to start reassembling it.
The previous owner had the alloys refurbished but they are starting to look a bit tarnished again. I'm not sure whether to rub them (the silver bits) down and just polish or to have them lacquered after removing the tarnishing. I've tried Autosol but with little effect so perhaps they are currently lacquered. What do you recommend? Were they lacquered when they left the factory?
Another problem seems to be holding air pressure. A couple seem to slowly deflate after a few weeks. My local tyre supplier thinks it is due poor sealing around the rims due to pitting. Is this a common problem and what is the solution -inner tubes?
Thanks everyone.
