Protecting Your Wheels

[Mr Mole]

Hi peeps, was wondering what you use to protect your alloys from corrosion/brake dust.

Want to apply something before I fit my new wheels.

Thanks in advance for your help :winky:

supagaurd wheels is quite good, i'm unsure on the durability of such protectors tho, best to just wash the wheels every week or few days.

I use the Turtlewax 'Brake Dust Barrier' which worked quite well with the excessive dusting from the original pads on my IS250. Before I started using this the dust had already started to pit the polished rims on the two front wheels (had to have them refurbed after 6 months). Now have ceramic based pads, so between these and the occasional use of the barrier spray...no more blackened rims B)

Wash and wax. Just keep on top of them

I've got some Poorboys Alloy Wheel Sealant which I bought to go on my alloys after they were refurbed.........it's now a few months down the line and I still haven't used it so no idea how good it is!

It was recommended by someone though, must have been someone on here but can't remember who

Thanks for that Tango. I will give that a go. :D

@T7RYB I wash my car as soon as there is any dirt on it . I've even washed it when its dark and raining before I put it in its bed for the night . just wanted some kind of protection :winky:

Wheel Wax is really good stuff, i used it when I had polished wheels on my old Golf and works a treat

After reading various threads on Detailing World I have ordered some Zaino Clear Seal (Z-CS) which seemed to have good feedback for that purpose. It's not cheap but then I guess you shouldn't need to use much so should last a while.
