Autoglym Alloy Wheel Seal

[Jordi17]

Is it any good? In a tin with a black sticker. Seen some vids of it being applied and looks like a foam which you just simply spray on then wipe off with a microfibre cloth?

So is it worth buying and does it do a good job?

Cheers.

poorboys wheel sealant is good, ebay about £15 with a mircofibre and applicator.

 

[Jordi17]

yeah but I'm talking about getting it from Halfords.

I have used the Autoglym wheel seal for years... East to use, just spray on and buff off with a microfibre.

I think that's different to what Jordi is talking about.

 

[Matt e]

yeah its alright, makes it easier to get the brake dust off next time you clean them

I think that's different to what Jordi is talking about.

Dont think so... It is a white spray can with a grey label called Autoglym Alloy wheel seal (i have just checked the can)

 

[Jordi17]

ye thats the one, does it come out in a foam?

ye thats the one, does it come out in a foam?

Yes a fine foam. I also use the tyre dressing in the can aswell which is quite good.

I wasn't that impressed with ot tbh, didn't do a great job of sealing or stopping surface spots not able to just wash off, but then I guess it's easy enough to apply on a regular basis.

I got better, longer lasting results from using Colli's 476 wax

 

[Jordi17]

Wondering if Clean wheels does anything, its just used to get the brake dust off by the look of it?

I use colli 476 at the moment, apply it every couple of weeks but the ag wheel seal looks easier to use?

 

[ForceIndia]

Fair enough, but he put that it comes in a tin! I've used it before, makes next to no difference.

 

[Jordi17]

What makes no difference? whether you use it or not, or whether its in a tin?

I think you are getting confused to what im talking about here i will find a link

 

[Yellow Dave]

if you can apply it and wash them reguarly then it might be ok. I'll be trying poorboys wheel sealant next to see if it looks better than the Colli's, especially as it's supposed to be better with the heat

 

[Cliotoby]

Id sooner have Autogylm Extra Gloss Protection if youre limiting yourself to halfrauds. Its a liquid so its piss easy to spread.

Doesnt last forever but if you re apply once a month im sure itll be more than sufficient.

Would sooner have Collinite 476s for the wheels though. Or something else but with a higer price range.

 

[Jordi17]

I have used EGP but hear its not that good due to the heat the brakes give out?

 

[Jon.G]

EGP wont be able to withstand the heat. You'd be better to get the Poorboys or the 476s. I personally am using FK1000p Which is a much larger tin than both of the previous for just a tad more. Use it on the body work as well. Cracking stuff.

 

[Jordi17]

Perhaps I should keep on using 476. How often do you think it needs applying? once a week?

 

[Jon.G]

Not sure with the 476, but It should last longer than a week. I'd personally do 2/3 coats every month.

Are you doing 1 coat each week?

 

[Jordi17]

Ye, maybe once every 2 weeks.

 

[JD]

AG WS does not last.

476 will only need reapplication every couple of months.

Go on eBay and buy some FK1000p or PB WS as above.

 

[Jordi17]

When you say it wont last what do u mean? It wont last long? if so i will apply once a week.

I applied some today and its very easy to use, my only reservation is that does it work (stop chips etc). only time will tell.

 

[Cliotoby]

If your happy with re applying then why not. Nothing will stop stone chips really.

JD do you think FK or colly is more durable?
