Wheels

[JD]

Gents,
My wheels are away being refurb'd and will be back next Saturday. Luckily the missus is away Saturday, so I'll have time to clean and protect on arrival home.

I need;
- new wheel brush/es - the brakes make it difficult to get to the backs on one location per wheel so need a larger and smaller brush... wheel woolies, EZ Large and Mini, Daytona Large and Mini...
- a spray on protectant - immediately jumped to Hydro2 here (@Daniel)... anything else to consider like Gyeon etc?

Ta.

I applied Gyeon Rim to my fiesta wheel. Two coats actually, left for 24hrs etc. I'm not overly thrilled about it compared to Dlux. It did apply very nicely.

I use one of these to clean inside the wheels and the brake calipers etc....

But to clean behind the spokes i find a microfiber wash mitt does the job perfectly although this may depend on the clearance you have between the caliper and the spoke(s).

As for a sealant, i haven't used it myself but a lot seem to rate Gtechniq ( i think its the C2V3 product) but sure someone will confirm if this is correct or not. What wheel cleaner are you using at the min ? I can recommend Valet Pro Bilburry, 1L for £9 if you're thinking of buying a wheel cleaner too.

Sorry, forgot to mention that this is a wheels on job until I can get them off back at home in December. Or at yours lol.

No clearance, Adam. I have the EZ but this doesn't fit, hence the question about the mini, chap. And once sealed I only use warm water/shampoo.

Then I'd go for Reload or Hydro to keep you going until then - just have to keep on top of cleaning / adding protection.

Reload requires a wipe down. I need something touchless fella.

More than welcome to do it at the unit dude, you'll be spending a fortune on hydro trying to keep them protected until December lpl
