Wheel Sealant?

[Jay.S]

At the weekend am going to be doing my first bit of detailing to my car
when it comes to the wheels so far I only have bilberry cleaner so what wax/sealant should I use after it poorboys?

I could do a search but am on my mobile so can't be bothered.

awaiting words of wisdom.

Agreed, but only if they know how to apply it properly... hence the easier PB suggestion. x

 

[Jay.S]

The poorboys seen some on eBay for £12 but its only 8oz any better places to get it? Or is that good?

Will look at that link when am home, can't do it on my mob.

 

[jenic]

Was just going to ask the same thing, ordered!

About the same as ebay, but Polished Bliss are now doing free delivery as i read on detailing world the other day so took advantage of that and ordered a few things.

 

[JD]

The last time I bought it, it was circa £15 delivered, and that was before the VAT increase.

Polished Bliss with their free shipping would be my suggestion, but you've mentioned you want to do it this weekend, which the 3-5 working day shipping won't guarantee...

 

[Gally]

I just like winding you up.

Yeah this weekend would be ideal might see if eBay has any for next day delivery.

If not what could I buy from a store which is decent?

No idea what stores are local to you buddy. From Halfrauds, probably not a lot... maybe a metal sealant like NXT Gen Metal Sealant... if they do one? But you'd be just wasting money.

Ok I will order the poorboys and just hope it gets here in time.

Thanks guys.

 

[Gally]

You can pay for quicker delivery mate.

 

[JD]

Jetseal 109 works well as does Poorboys

 

[jenic]

Can the poorboys be applied straight to a brand new rim, or must it be waxed first?

I dont have much wax, and nothing really suitable for white.

 

[Gally]

The PB stuff mate should just go straight on after it's been washed and dried, the sealent is the "wax".

 

[jenic]

Ah, so i should apply the poorboys to the clean rim. Then wax on top, or will the pb be enough?

I was reading on a detailing shop that you should wax then PB :S

 

[Gally]

No, PB is the wheel sealent, that's really all that should be on the rim. Sealents don't sit on top of waxes.

Wash and de-grease the new rim though or the durability of the Sealent might be affected.

 

[jenic]

Thats what i thought before i started reading up. Just PB on a clean rim, nothing else. Cheers

 

[Gally]

Pretty much dude, should be easy enough.

 

[JD]

Polish, IPA wipedown, PBWS, done. Or if you're Gally, seventyeleven layers of 476... x

 

[Gally]

Pmsl! How times have moved on, I remember defending it to the hilt against Ali.

 

[jenic]

What can i use as a degreaser from around the house? Will a weak dilution of fairy do, or is there something in fairy thats frowned upon?

I want to prep them now, so i cant wait for more stuff to be delivered.

Edit: Or could i just use a weak dilution of car shampoo?

This PB stuff smells amazing btw!

 

[JD]

Daisy from Tescos buddy.

 

[jenic]

Cheers, popped to tesco for some daisy and degreased and sealed the wheels this afternoon.

Took 2 hours so it better make a big difference when cleaning them!

 

[JD]

Good man. Spray some water and watch them bead
