Do you like to reguarly clean your wheels,

if yes then a normal wheel cleaner and any wheel wax will suffice.

if no, search for gtechniq C5 or cquartz. But these need PRECISE and PERFECT prep or else it won't bond properly

Had them under a month I use a wheel cleaner every weekend

That will keep them fairly clean, but won't remove iron or tar etc. Depends if you want to seal / protect them to make them easier to clean where all you'll need is shampoo like the rest of the car?

ps rimwax is sh!t

Its everywhere that rim wax is :\ I usually snow foam them and use a megs wheel and tyre clean I had free with alloys I do want a wax \ sealant but don't no what one too get and also will be changing too a diff wheel clear what one you recommend ?

 

[Yellow Dave]

If you want 3 to 6months then a temperature resistant wax like colli 476, fk1000, mint rims will do the job.

if you want longer protection then look into the nano or quartz coatings i mentioned above.

wheel cleaners arent overly needed on protected wheels as shampoo will remove the worst. It will be when you want to prep them for new coats of wax that you may need a wheel cleaner and iron remover. I've only used valetpro bilberry and AF imperial wheel cleaners so can't comment on others. Now my wheels are sealed with C5 I don't need to use them
