SiAdam SiAdam Post Master Supreme Registered: 07/22/01 Posts: 19309 Loc: USA	Looking @ finallly getting a new set of wheels and I want to protect them. Is there a wax/sealant that I can apply to my wheels that will protect them from road grime/tar/bugs/etc ? _________________________ 05 Berlina Black S2000 700whp / 500wtq Built, not bought.

Treat them like you treat your paint because more times than not, they are clear coated. There is no real magic to keeping wheels looking good. -Matt _________________________ 2016 4Runner Trail Edition \| 2000 Honda S2000

I use Smartwax's sealant on my wheels just because it's easy to use. Collinite would be a pretty good choice as well, since it's pretty durable. I did notice that after I applied sealant to my wheels that it was easier to remove the brake dust from them... _________________________ Garen mundua konkistatzen delako joan!

Getting new wheels in the next week, I'll make sure and do this before I drive on them.. Clay my wheels and seal them..lol.. _________________________ 05 Berlina Black S2000 700whp / 500wtq Built, not bought.

I've been working on a special wax just for wheels... main difference is that it can handle super high temperatures so protection lasts longer. That's still in the developmental stages!
