Now those are some great looking wheels and tires! Not sure about the Rain X as I have never seen it before. Where did you buy it? Does it make a big difference over a sealant?



Thanks,



Paul
 
got it from Canadian tire, i find it goes on fine over a sealant? just wondering if anyone here has applied it under ?
 
Never heard of the Rain-X stuff but the rims/tires look great!





Skip the wax topper as it will be melted off during your first heavy braking session.
 
Thxs, ya odds r ill just spray the RainX on and thats it, like you said reg wax doesnt last, which is why i use #20, has a harder shell ect
 
Looks good.

I use WAUD as a QD after every wash (as well as an in-between dry QD) on the car, and continue on the wheels. I find it keeps them slick, and the brake dust just won't stick! (and the rims aren't even CC'd)
 
Nice looking shiny wheels!



Can I use the Eagle 1 A to Z on my rims without it removing my Klasse SG applications? I want to give the back of my rims a more thorough cleaning but I don't want to remove the SG I've been putting on the front side.



Thanks.
 
The rain-x wheel protectant works when applied over sealant. I find it makes keeping your rims clean much easier(brake dust and grime wash off). Pretty sure if you applied it before/under the sealant,it would mess up the sealant's bond to the rim.

I am pretty sure that A2Z will remove any sealant/wax your have on your rims. It is excellent for cleaning tires and rubber mats,however.



Rims and tires looking good 4dr
 
Look awaesome!! Thise are fine wheels.



The rainX IMO is a great product, especially for those with german cars or brake dust problems.



FWIW, those of you who are interested in the RainX WP, my local $ store has a large supply of it. You might try your local $ store.
 
i would layer the 20 and leave it like that. As far as using any wheel cleaner after doing a sealent.. think of it this way. If you had 20 on your paint and you sprayed it down with A2Z every wash, how long do you think the 20 will last?

Wheels look great, the Golf will look super with them on -- I can't wait to put my spring-summer-fall wheels on too :)



I use AIO & SG on mine, and they clean much easier.
 
how did i apply $40? more or less just sprayed on, did use a small sponge this time though, normally i dont prefer the wet look on tires, in the pics i took i had just applied #40, after a few days or even hours, it settles in and is absorbed by the tire, has the new tire look, this is why i use 303 on a reg basis, gives the tires a "new" nice and "black"look vs "wet"look. This is just me though? to each his own.;)
