it did prevent stone chips to a point but all depends on what the wheels are and the finish on them...Know my mate is going in is silver bora with some nice alloys on so keep a look out for that

What about carbon collective platinum wheels?

Coated mine in it took one of other day and sprayed it with shampoo/water and it wiped clean with a microfiber

I would use something better than Poorboys to be honest. It's not that good. It won't help with stonechips either.

You would need a ceramic/silica sealant to even hope to add any strength. Cquartz will add scratch resistance and even a normal wax such as collinite or fk1000p would last longer than poorboys

look forward to seeing them on mate ;)
