Alloy Wheel Sealant

[james7471827906]

After their cleaned, I gather an incredible amount of brake dust all over the alloys, just wondering if there was a sealant I could apply after cleaning to reduce this build up... if so any suggestions?

Cheers

You cant stop the build-up of brake dust and the like but you can help it not bond to the wheels so it washes off easily with just soapy water.
I use Poorboys Wheel Sealant topped with Chemical Guys Blitz spray sealant and then a durable wax like Collinite 476 etc etc
That should help you mate, especially if you add more than one layer of each.

Do I need to post? No, but I like to.

Interesting that you use CGB over PBWS Darren. Nout wrong with it, just I go straight to a wax.

2 coats of Poorboys WS post polishing with SRP and my wheels are pretty well protected.

Agreed.

Standard for me is SRP, PBWS, 476.

Unless it is a full cut back, in which case, Scratch X, SRP by machine, PBWS then 476.

CarLack NSC followed by Poorboys Wheel Sealant IMO.......

What can I say? I love the stuff!

As do I but seems wasteful

The Poorboys stuff is a PITA to use and isn't all that anyway.

Look at Optimum Opti Seal which will easily outlast it, and is wipe on walk away.

Scrub them up with SRP or similar first, if needed. Using a 'wax' isn't the best idea, as like with car paint, it won't repel like a good sealant will.

Once you've used wheel sealant start using bilberry wheel cleaner as this gets rid of brake dust really easily!

If they are sealed correctly there is no need for a wheel cleaner; soapy water is sufficient.
