Product:

Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant


Price & Price Per Ounce:

$15.95 - 8 oz.

$1.99/oz


Manufacturer Claims:

Long lasting protection for wheels against the environment and brake dust...makes clean-ups a breeze, even on the worst wheels. Use it on any type of wheel!


Packaging:

Comes in a plastic, screw top, white jar. The label is easily readable and the package is easy to use.


Color/Scent/Viscosity:

The sealant is a creamy (polish like) texture and purple in color. It smells like Watermelon... :).


How I used (as per instructions):

I first washed and clayed my rims, then dryed. I polished out any swirls or light defects, then applied Klasse AIO (I'm sure SSR1, PPP, or PwC would do fine) and removed. I then applied the Poorboy's Wheel Sealant with a yellow foam applicator to the surface in very thin coats (1 coat per rim). I let it haze up (quickly) and also tried letting it sit for 20 mins...In either case, the Wheel Sealant removed like a breeze with an MF towel.


Overall Thoughts:

The product spread for a VERY long time. I got a sample (1.5 oz) and I have done 2 total coats (inside and outside on 17x7" rims) and it looks like I barely made a dent in the supply. I first applied about 3 weeks ago and it left a very slick surface. It did a bit better job at repelling dust than a waxed/bare wheel, but about on par with a paint sealant. However, I found that the dust/contaminants that did stick were really only sitting on the surface (as opposed to etching). They cleaned up with absolute ease when either S+W'd or washed. After the second coat, I noticed a large increase in wetness/glow/slickness. I heard 3 coats is even better. But for now, I am happy and will continue to use.


Other Notes:

Make sure to do the insides of your wheels for a uniformly beautiful appearance.

Excellent review! :bigups

Must be tough getting the sealant residue out of all those "rivets" and other knooks and crannies. Pretty tough wheels to detail... nice job!

Did you feel that the first coat of Wheel Sealant looked better than the AIO alone?
 
Thanks :).

The sealant comes out fine with a really plush MF. The WS definately looks wetter and more glowish than AIO alone...especially after the 2nd coat.
 
Thank you for the very informative review. I can't wait til i get mine tomorrow. I should be able to get some use out of this product this weekend.
 
Great review. I recently used the wheel sealant and was as pleased as you are. I havent done enough breaking yet to see if any dust collects, but I'll fix that problem next time I'm out and about!
Another fine product from Steve!

After driving 2.5 hours in the pooring rain the other night the rims definately saw cleaner days. They were just dull from road grime.

After just hosing them off this morning, they were far cleaner. I hit them with an older sheepskin mitt and some soapy water and it was like the grime was never there. Still happy after a week ;).
