Tackleberry Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 As above. Recently got some new wheels and looking to have them properly waxed and sealed.The old set succumbed to damage under the lacquer before i bought the car so looking to properly look after the new set. Anyone recommend any products? Quote

Jp606 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Currently using Rejex, seems to work pretty well but I'm sure there's better out there. Only using it as a sample came with a Waxybox order and I'm going to use it up before either buying a full size bottle of it, or something better, so also interested in this thread. It seems pretty durable though and makes cleaning the wheels a breeze. Don't forget to use a good PH neutral wheel cleaner to stop it stripping the wax/sealant, such as ValetPro Billbury.

coldel Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 With the C5 a decent car shampoo and a wash mitt is all you need, you dont need a wheel cleaner at all to shift any brake dust. 1 Quote
Wasso Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I've not cleaned my rims in over a year. What I mean by that is I spray, leave for five minutes then jet wash off. No wheel sealants or wax needed, I don't need a mitt or even a wheel brush. I swear by the stuff. Edited September 13, 2013 by Wasso Quote

coldel Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 C5 is bloody expensive Ian - didn't know you had a BMW now I would disagree, some people have alloys costing £1k+, pretty much the same as a paint job in some cases. They are quite happy to buy a cleaner, polish, mitts, micro fibres, waxes and sealants to protect the paintwork which cost £50 in total and upwards but then baulk at £20 for a pot of C5 which will protect your wheels for 3 months. Seems like a good investment in the grand scheme of things to me. Quote
NeilMH Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I have always used the unfortunately named Rimwax but I am not a detailer of any description so how that compares with some of these other posh things I have no idea. It works for me. Quote
