How Can You Prevent Rust On Alloys?

[Pablo]

As above really.

What's the best method?
Will only a certain type of alloy rust?

My standard Dynamique's are starting to look a bit weathered, and wanted to know for my next car/set of alloys what can I do to preserve them as much as possible?

Is there a polish out there, or is it just a case of wiping them down after washing etc?

I'm guessing rain is the biggest killer perhaps?

Cheers,

Pete.

put this in detailing mate,

Polish them with something like Autoglym Super Resin Polish (AG SRP) and then use some sealant such as Autoglym Extra Gloss protection (AG EGP) or Poorboys Wheel Sealant.

As above a decent sealant, wash them often in the winter to stop the crap etching in, removing them from the car to clean the insides once or twice a year.

Avoid having clip on weights put on the outer face as they damage the paint and let water get under them. Get them balanced with stick on weights in the inside rim.

use non acidic wheel cleaner which eats into the laquer, as mentioned above remove wheels before and after winter to clean the back (especially behind the spokes), use a spray on brake cleaner to remove stubborn residue

before refitting i always give them a coating of megs nxt
