I just wash then use SRP and finish with two coats of Poorboy's sealant  :smiley:

Im sure the experts will tell you a better way and products though  :laugh:

you can seal with jetseal 109 and then if you want to get extra glossy get some high temp wax as others wont last with the heat..

You are right in now wanting to use a normal wax, they are not made to deal with the high temperatures and wont last 5 minutes. Anything like Poorboy's Wheel Sealant, Jetseal 109, or FK1000p will do a great job  :wink:
