ilogikal1 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 There are a billionty threads on this very topic. I always give the same advice in them all. Find one of them because I can't be bothered to recite the same things yet again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Depends what you're after really; A cheap, effective solution = wax. Which actually means FK1000P. Will last ~3months between applications (unless you use wheel cleaners regularly) and can be used on all other painted surfaces too. Maximum durability = coating. GTechniq C5 or Gyeon Q2 Rim for ~12months protection. /thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Would you like a cuddle tonight? Yes please. And I'm going to sit here and cry until I get one. Or dehydrate, whichever comes first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm thinking about using that nano stuff...a bit expensive, but lasts years! Had mixed experiences with them. I use Nano now but only because I've seen the development of it and the testing outputs for this particular brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharmon Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I use swissvax autobahrn originally designed for Bugatti to stop the aggressive brake dust and high temperatures staining the verons wheels.If its good enough for Bugatti its good enough for me . I top it up once every 6months and it works a treat nothing sticks to it .Makes cleaning wheels so much easier aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I've used a mixture of a coat of poor boys wheel sealant, then autoglym hd wax and mines have never had any issues any dust/dirt comes off with ease and looks good when clean.
