Post by: adi on 25 February 2011, 16:53

yes rimwax is a good product, athers to consider are, fk1000p,collinite 476 or 845 as they ae both hybrid waxes with sealant propertys and have excellent durabilty.
this is a great product for cleaning the metal and it seals them really well too, if you couple using the final shine and top with a either rimwax or any sealant/wax for that matter it will give you a bit more protection

no probs, yes go for it mate, these are both excellent cleaners and as i linked above the final shine has sealant in it to seal the metal up, and yes the rimwax will go over the top fine and add more protection.

you use the green one first to clean the crap off with then the final shine removes any remaining crap and finishes it off.

go for it.

tip: you dont need a vast amount of these 2 when in use, a little goes along way.

no not at all, but what the guys meant is if you already have say jetseal or wax then use them as they are good enough for the job.

Im just basing this on my personal findings and opinions. I find some products are their just to fool us into buying

With something like the fantastic Jetseal, you can use this on other stuff too, not just rims. makes for a well worth product to own
