-

cheers for that Rich, do you use anything else on them or just polished up and then waxed?
-
you can use jetseal 109 i believe aswell and its an alrounder on paint work too..

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:
-
yep, I was going to do the same as the rest of the car except with the wheel wax instead of the normal wax
-
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..
-
FK1000p high temp wax. Best stuff ive used
-
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:
-
collinite 845 or fk1000p layered.

My Dad has a pot of Poorboys so after helping myself to some I cant beleive just how good it is and it really notices when you wash the car, it makes the wheels so much easier to clean :cool:

I applied 2 layers of Poorboys wheel sealant and finished with a layer of 915. I can already tell it works better as brake dust isn't really sticking to the rims. :afro:

nice one shady, plus it will be so easy to keep them clean, the dirt falls off nicely when you seal and wax your rims. did the wifes bmw wheels back in april/may time with a polish over with lime prime then a layer of blackmax glaze followed by 2 layers of jetseal 109 a layer of collinite 845 and 1 layer of rainforest rub to gloss it up a bit, proberly went over the top tbh but well worth it imho as when i come to clean them it takes minimal touching to get the brake dust off.
keep in mind shady that your wheels are polished and wont show the breakdust up as quickly as normal painted alloys. and keep adding a layer of wax every other wash to keep the protection topped up.

I'm going to be cleaning them on Sunday, after they come off the car, and then into the shed. :(

nice one! keep them all tucked up for winter, try and cover them up in your shed to minimise the crap that would settle on them.

Will a bed sheet do? :grin:

perfect mate :wink:

I use AG alloy wheel protector on my Monza shadows, its difficult to tell if its any good because Monza shadows are so easy to keep clean. :undecided: .
-
I use Jetseal109 - 2 thin coats and it makes them so much easier to clean! Every 6 months or so i'll take the wheels off and give them a good going over - but the EZ Detail brush is awesome for keeping on top of the wheel inners during normal washing!
