Jacko Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Guys, Does or has anyone used the Poorboys products? I'm looking at some new wheel cleaner and protector for the new wheels which have a diamond chrome lip. I've been using the Meguairs Hot Wheels cleaner up till now on the Rays and it goes so quick! and just started using this Rimwax to try to protect. But was after something a bit better......

Trev-the-Rev Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think Sarnie uses the rim wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 not tried any of these , I use Rimwax, but to be honest I think whatever you use on bare alloy lips you will end up using Autosol every so often to keep the shine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt use Autosol on chrome lips , it's a bit abrasive best to stick to a soft polish I would have thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 you can tell really.... mine are chromed for example. Liam's are bare alloy (both liam's) I'd rather have bare alloy tbh, much easier to refurb by yourself after a curb incident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 easy to tell, put a bit of Autosol on a clean rag and rub , if the rag turns black it's bare alloy Does this potentially involve scratching the hell out of the rim as well?

Rob_Quads Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Don't go near Megs wheel cleaner. Its awesome stuff for normal wheels - it shifts stuff wish just spray where others have not budged it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morg Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Been using the rimwax as well, mrs takes the pi$$ out of the name but i like it Autoglym SRP and EGP supposed to be good for cleaning and sealing, i'll prolly try the combo on my next major clean.
