road salt vs alloy wheels!

[Audin_RT]

what can i use to protect my new alloys? dont want the road salt to eat em! it has snowed really heavily tonight so the roads are gonna be caked in salt tomora

 

[cliosportcraig]

rinse them down when u stop !! Have a big 2ltr bottle of water in the back of the car and just give em a rinse !!

Zymol Wheel Coat............it actually does work, especially after 2 or 3 treatments

just had to scrub mine with a toothbrush! Did the trick though.

Is that Zymol stuff also used to clean them? Ive used wonderwheels before, flicked it in my eye and nearly blinded myelf!

 

[BRUN]

nah, i use Meguairs Wheel Cleaner, then once the wheels are dry i give them a mist with the Wheel Coat

ive seen alloy wheel wax somewhere on the internet before, do a google search and youll probably find it

Turtle wax do a spray called alloy protector, have to buy the cleaner with it too though which isnt very good..

Even if you just apply a couple of coats of regular car body wax to your alloys, youll get a good amount of protection.
