Anyone used this on alloy wheels before? Is it any good? I like the price, but it does look a bit "Halfordsy" :?

I used the uPol stuff, but it's double the price!

Not that bad a price as well if it's that good. Can I assume it's grey?

Theyre still selling some upol stuff at my local garage - they have the acid etch primer for under £4 for 500ml can but it says its for trim so guess its suitable for plastics only...... :?
