What wheel wax?

[AK350Z]

What products are people using on their wheels at the moment, I have a gap in my product shelf!

[martinmac]

I have a full range in the small gap on my shelf, help yerself.

[AK350Z]

do you deliver?

 

Actually, i'm heading down past your way on friday going to liverpool if you have anything you "want rid of"

[Beavis]

I only use a wash mitt and then finish with Autoglym wheel sealant.

Have a look on cleanyourcar.co.uk

 

Chemical Guys wheelguard,rim wax,jetseal 109 are the ones I use,there are others though.

Poorboys smells ace btw! was also good on the door handles

[Harman350z]

I use Megs all metal polish ..

[clarkie34]

That's a metal polish,not good for laquered wheels.

[Dblock]

TBH rim waxes and what not arent worth it. Just go for a high temp sealent like fk1000p you can also use it on your car.

+1 for PB sealant, its great stuff, have converted many to it. Give the wheels a damn good clean, claybar and polish, just like normal paint then put 4 or so coats on, applying and leaving to cure for 10 mins or so. Jobs a good un - so much easier to clean then

+1 on the Jetseal 109.

Haha, don't think I'm up to yours and James' level of attention to detail yet, I think i'll try a spray sealant first and see what thats like. Maybe go a bit more mental before Wales.

I wasnt that impressed with AG alloy wheel spray protector - the occational polish and seal with AG super gloss sealant (called something like that) has been the best combo I've used.

I generally use Poorboys Wheel Seal but if I don't have that available I just go with Collinite 476s wax. Seems to hold up fine even though strictly speaking it's meant for the paint

[srobrien]

+1 for FK1000P

[smartmove]

Spent the day today removing my wheels, thoroughly cleaning them, 1 coat of Poorboys wheel seal (love the smell of that stuff!) and a coat of Collinite 476s for good measure. I have to admit I used some "Wonder Wheels" to remove some stubborn brake dust that just didn't seem to want to shift, I know it's a bit aggressive but did the trick with very little effort on my part

Coincidentally I spent 3 hours this weekend waxing my new Alloys replaced under warranty.

 

Unfortunately the 300C alloys are bad for corrosion - worse than a 1972 VW Baywindow camper van!

 

So I had to try to protect them as best I can.

 

1) Washed in Fairy liquid

2) Dried off then polished with MER

3) Waxed with Poorboys Wheel wax (twice)both outside and inner rim and also as much into the nooks and crannies as posible

4) Left to set hard - then buffed off

5) Blackfire Spray Sealant on the top and buffed off

6) Blackfire Tyre Sealant

 

Refitted to car.

 

Really pleased with the results and lets hope they help minimise future corrosion
