CPhillips93 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Gtechniq C5 wheel armour - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/gtechniq-c5-wheel-armour/prod_878.html May be £22 for 15ml but will be more durable than the cheaper wheel sealants out there.

GMballistic Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 *Waits for ilogikal1 to post before recommending anything* Although both the above two previous posts are good recommendations imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Have a look on Matt's thread, there's wheel options from post #332 http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/82410-the-ilogikal1-test-thread/page__st__320 Edit: just had a thought. If these have fresh paint on them. Don't yo want to wait a while for it to de-gas before sealing up? Or is that just fresh bodywork?

ilogikal1 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It's the same for wheels, Stu - if they've been baked they should be okay, otherwise it's usually advisable to leave them for anything up to a month before sealing. Best to consult your painter for confirmation. As to the OP, consult this very recent thread, but in essence; Wax = FK1000P, top up every other month, wash with nothing more than soapy water and you're sorted. Coating = GTechniq C1/4/5, top up once a year a or so and wash with just a pressure washer (or less). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I did use poor boys wheel sealant on mine but have recently switched to using fk1000p. Its so easy to apply and seems to last well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDON Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I am waiting a few weeks before I seal them just to make sure. still deciding which to use in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
