Best wheel sealant for Monxa Shadows
« on: 26 August 2012, 20:05 »
Hi

I get my GTI on Saturda.  I will be using Werkstatt sealant on the bodywork - the car is candy white.

What do you guys recommend for the Monza alloys ?  I was toying with Rimwax.

Poorboys and Wolfs Rimshiels have both been recommended to me.
i really want the whells to be as shiny as possible  :evil:

Thanks in advance

I'm going to throw it out there and say that they will only look really shiny just after cleaning them. As soon as dust etc gets on them they will look not shiny. Just use any such wheel sealant and keep them washed regualary.

There a few before during afters of PB Wheel sealant in that link.

Tyre dressing is over rated IMO. A day later and you wouldn't know you put it on. Only really for show cars I feel. :undecided:

No worries pal...

To wash my car/wheels I use this

and to dress the tyres I use this I pour a bit into a tub and use a paint brush to apply....i find the megs has a lot better durability.
