Wheel Protection

(1/3) > >>

ollie288:
I am getting my new wheels delivered on friday and I want to clean them and protect them properly before putting them on the car. Does anyone know the best products to use and what method to go about it?
Here are the wheels (not the exact ones, but I am getting the lip polished like these so they will be the same)

Cheers  :happy2:

Greeners:
I usually go for 1-2 coats of Poorboys wheel sealent then as many coats of decent was before your fingers fall off!  :laugh:

You may need to invest in some Autosol for the polished edges too!  :happy2:

Top Cat:
And they will be a nightmare to clean as well.  :sad1: but worth it.
I think your going to need one of those mini EDs brushes.  :happy2:

JPC:
Get yourself a microfibre wash MIT and save it for the wheels. Wissvax autobahn is very good too

Cheers fellas!  :happy2:
Is something like bilberry wheel cleaner needed or would my normal car shampoo be adequate? (I have megs gold class and Lusso Auto Bathe)
So what I am really after is:
A brush - any one got any recommendations? I have seen the megs soft bristled one. Is that a good one?
A microfiber mitt for normal wash (keep for wheels)
Maybe a cleaner?
A sealant - I have heard poorboys wheel sealant mentioned a lot.
And also a wax? or does the sealant do it all? I have also seen the rimwax being mentioned.
What do you apply the sealant and wax with. I have applicator pads and microfibres.
Is this right?
Cheers  :happy2:
