What can you use on your wheel?

[dudley doright]

I have an aluminum mag and I want to protect them from the harshnest of the Winter. Is there a wax that you could apply to the metal and will keep the salt from attacking it.

I sprayed AquaWax today and hopefully it will protect them until I find a better product to use.

i like using aw. the break dust comes off so easy the next wash around.

i use AW if i'm in a hurry...but if you want durability go with collinite or a quality sealant (duragloss, zaino, UPP) as the primary layer of protection...then top off with AW every few washes and you're all set!

I just picked up Poorboy's Wheel Sealant but I can't tell you how good it is since I haven't put it on yet, 12 degrees outside!



Also you can check out Chemical Guys new Acrylic Wheel Guard: Wheel Wax Rim & Wheel Guard



Or Autopia's RimWax: RimWax - Premium Wheel Wax



Or DP Wheel Glaze or Wheel Wax from AG: DP Wheel Glaze cleans and protects all types of wheels! Durable wheel polymer wax coating protects wheels from brake dust adhesion and corrosion. , Wheel Wax

Collinite or Zaino will work well on wheels

I thought I would bump this older thread instead of attempting to start a new one.



Can anyone tell me if DP Wheel Glaze will work any better than an application of EX-P or UPP on my wheels to prevent brake dust accumulation? Ive got a cart open at AG and was thinking about picking up a tin.



That said, I have a myriad of sealants and waxes that dont see too much use anymore that I would happily relegate to wheel duty if I thought they would be as good as a product designed to work on wheels. (ie. Wheel Glaze or Wheel Wax)

Here is what I do...

• Remove the wheels from the car the first time and then about every six months thereafter
  
• Wash well and clay using an old piece of clay dedicated to wheel work
  
• Klasse AIO followed by Klasse SG (have also used JW Prime Strong followed by JW Acryic Jett)
  
• 24 hours later apply Duragloss Aquawax
  
• Clean with mild soap and water once a week
  
• Spot clean once during the week using ONR mixed up as a QD solution and applied from a spray bottle
  
• Reapply the Duragloss Aquawax once a week after washing the wheels
  

I have found that this works very well for me. If you already have an AIO and LSP product that you use and like I suggest trying them (as long as they are something durable) before going out and buying more products (unless of course you are looking for a reason to buy more products).



One of the reasons I really like KAIO and KSG is that I can use them for pretty much everyrthing (paint, wheels, glass and even some trim). The product works well, lasts and goes a long, long way.
