alloy wheel sealer after refurb in powder coat.

[sharki786]

as some may know i have dropped my alloys of to have them powder coated in matt grey. I wanted to know whats the best way to go about protecting the wheels?

Don't kerb them! 
No I guess a wax them every so often with a decent wax?

decent sealant and/or wax will do the job done regularly you shouldn't need to use aggressive wheel cleaners

otherwise you could use a dedicated wheel wax like rim wax, wheel wax or poorboys wheel sealant

thanks guy, but which would you recommend? And how much do they start from?

Beading I got just after 3 coats of poorboys wheel sealant. Excellent stuff. Great value for money, will last AGES! I have put 3 coats on 2 sets of alloys and still have 3/4 a pot left. Protects for 6months easy and the dirts comes off so easily with normal car shampoo. Just smear it on like butter with a foam applicator then buff of with a MF 3mins later!

[sharki786]

what size is the pot? and how much you get it for?

Google it, go on waxamomo, I'm sure the quantity will be on there. Costs about £12 I think. you get lots and lots of it and it goes a long way..as I described with my example 

[sharki786]

sweet scarr, seen it on ebay for £12, but they got bilberry wheel cleaner. both for £20.

is it worth getting that then?
also are they both safe to use on powder coated wheels?

Slightly off topic, where did you get your wheels done mate as I'm looking in Shropshire/Midlands for decent wheel refurb service.
