Best way to keep the alloys

[Mikester]

wonder wheels

then if you keep up to them you will never need to use it again, i just use SRP on my alloys and then Jetseal...with a quick coat of wax afterwards

+1 kells, i totally agree, it takes any crap of the wheels, then aslong as you clean them, you dont use it ever again!

Do NOT use Wonder Wheels because its acid based. It probably wouldnt remove the tar anyway. If you want a wheel cleaner get some Bilbery ( spelling )

For the Tar spots use Tardis is great stuff removes the tar in seconds.

To protect your wheels use 2 or 3 coats of Poorboys wheel sealant its great stuff and makes cleaning them in the future a hell of a lot less hard work.

spot on, tardis is excellent on tar and glue left over from stickers etc. have'nt used pb's wheel sealant personally but do use there nattys blue paste wax and its good sh1t.

Just wanted to add to this thread an update.

Wheels were coated with PB Sealant a while ago now and yesterday I washed the car for the first time in nearly on month. The wheels were minging and I expected to have to scrub them. No need, the brakedust and mud just came off with a slightest of stokes from my wash mit, they came so easily and quickly. I'm soooo impressed with this stuff!

ive got some image stuff for the bbs, i suppose its some sort of sealant. its good stuff, after the wheel is clean you coat them in it, leave for an hour then buff it off. the outer rims are bare ally and i have never had to get the metal polish on them, even after not washing the car for a month!

good to hear that the pb is awsome nick,

put to coats on the wheels, inside and out, still waiting to get tyres for them, prob do one last coat before i put them on the car,

i got some meguairs wheel cleaner, will this be ok or fromwhat you said nick will there be any need for wheel cleaner? lol

I just used my wash mit and some Bilt Hamber car shampoo that's nice and mild and doesn't strip any wax sealant off.

The Megs stuff is pretty strong so only use when you really need to.

If you have sealent on them you dont really need to use any cleaner apart from your normal shampoop

i got polished wheels and i havent used wax cus worried about ruinin them wouldnt mind using one if it safe, but anyway i use autoglym custom wheel cleaner which i was assured was fine to use on chrome and polished rims and that seems to do a really good job on my wheels and exhaust tip
