Wheel Sealants

[soupyrachel]

What wheel sealants are folks using these days on alloys with polished lips? Never bought or used a sealant before so need help from people who have used them.

Looking for one that isn't harsh on polished rims and lasts a good while.

G/Techniq C5 but not 100% sure about its use on polished rims., you'd need to check that. It is however probably the best wheel sealant you can buy.

Give mike at Kleen Freaks a shout , He makes the wheel waxes etc for wheel whores

 

[soupyrachel]

I will do that

I use this stuff, seems pretty good, fairly good reviews online too.

Gtechniq C5 is pretty good for something you might only have to apply once a year, for something you don't mind applying more (2 weeks to a month) Poorboys wheel sealant is good.

I have that too, excellent much better than Poorboys

I've always used Poorboys, but recently been using KLEERS, it's without a doubt the best for me, worth trying for sure..

Im using the Raceglaze one that I got from Pro-Car a while back. Seems to do the job for me.

Wasn't that dear either iirc.

Thread bump = been a while since I used a wheel sealant, I have some old poor boys in the garage but I wouldn't be surprised if it is now solid

So what is the best stuff out there at the minute?

Strange coincidence....! I just took my poorboys wheel wax out of hiding at the weekend - pink stuff - worked a treat and still soft & easy to use!

Would look for another just out of interest though..

Looking into it, coatings seem to be the way forward, anyone used this?

Anyone else watch the "how to" clip on this.....he only did half the rim, the face of it.....how would you get that applicator in between the spokes....?

I have this on the wheels on the Scirocco. Great stuff indeed!

Using Collinite 476, purely because I had a tin of it already. Seems to be working well after applying a few months ago

 

[Boydie]

thanks @Paddy_R as I bought it yesterday lol

Just be sure to completely degrease any surface your applying it to other than that it's pretty easy to use. There an official video on how to use it on YouTube if I remember correctly.

I've a brand new poorboys wheel sealant in garage if anyone wants it for free. Collection only - Derry

 

[jimcupra]

I have been using furniture polish on alloys for years long before any rim wax was out. Cheap and cheerful and does the job

 

[Carson]

Has anyone tried Auto Finesse Mint rims sealant ?

 

[ChrisL]

@Carson get the G/Techniq C5 its phenomenal apparently!
