Wheel sealing advice

[Munson]

What are the best products for sealing and waxing alloys? I'm after a deep protection and hopefully a good resistance to brake dust, or at least so that it washes off easily and doesn't get burnt on

Nah something like autoglym extragloss protection is fine. Its a paint sealant thats very durable, and long lasting. I used it my my turinis and they came up fine

Auoglym Super Resin followed by there Extra Gloss protection works as well as anything. Holds up well to the temps. Just takes a while to do due the cure time.

I try and get a couple of coats on once a year then use a easy on and off WHEEL SEALANT when I get the chance inbetween which can be applied in 5 mins of so to all the wheels.

I use this after recommendations on here and so far it seems to do the trick very well..........

Problem with CG Wheel Gaurd is it contains cleaners so stops you adding multiple layers to build up some real protection

If I understand you correctly, if I apply CG WG and then re-apply I am effectively removing the first coat by applying the second??

Yeap the cleaners it have in it will prevent mutliple layers - 2 coats of it will just ensure proper coverage rather than allowing you to build up mutliple layers of it like the Poorboys or Swissvax ones will.

Would you not recommend the CG WG? I do have the Autoglym products but wasn't sure they would be upto the job....the main reason I looked for a dedicated wheel sealant.

 

[Rich]

I stopped using Rimwax and never purchased the Wheel Guard due to the cleaners in them as I like to build up layers of protection.

Standalone the Autoglym Twins will hold up as wheel if not better as any dedicated sealant, which is why I use them and then top with cleaner free one's as they are quicker to use than re- EGPing.

I use the Poorboys Wheel Sealant or Swissvax Autobahn ones on mine.

Have got zymol titanium topped with zaino CS on mine!

You have to much money pimping Kosovans all the time in your bimmer

Do you think it would be ok to EPG after CG WG??

 

[Rich]

The EGP won't bond properly, best of using the SRP first to make sure.

 

[Munson]

EPG, SRP, CG...and WTF

 

[Rich]

EGP - Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
SRP - Autogym Super Resin Polish
CG - Chemical Guys

 

[Munson]

Ahhh ta!
