Does anyone wax their wheels? Wheels with a clear coat, that is. If so, do you think it will keep wheels looking nice, with no flaking of the clear coat over the years?
Does anyone have a suggestion how to keep my sweet (brand new) wheels looking great? I have been saving for two years for nice, quality wheels and I want them to look great for a long, long time

 

Poorboy's Wheel Sealant or Wheel Wax. I've heard good things about Poorboy's and I've actually used Wheel Wax, I thought it worked good but not overly impressed with it to where I'll keep on buying it. Now I just use my regular car wax (Meg's #26) and polish them with a wheel polish like Mother's billet. Just putting regular wax on them helps I can tell a difference with a fresh waxing

 

Nice ride, Jake! Lookin good! Do you grease your tires?

 

Thanks for the kind words. I just use Armor All on my tires. Give them a good scrubbing with a tire brush, some degreaser and then apply dressing. I don't like a shiny gooey look to my tires anymore. I prefer more of a matte look with a slight sheen.

 

What do you mean by dressing? Like "NO TOUCH" spray that foams and dissappears?

 

^^ Dressing is simply whatever you put on your wheels for protection or shine. Whether it be foam, gel, spray, or liquid... all are referred to as tire dressing.

 

Thanks for the clarification!

 

No problem.

 

i always wax my rims, makes the brake dust come off that much easier. i even put it on the back side of the rim, then every couple months i take the rims off and clean both sides of the tires and wheels.

i dont use tire shine on my tires either. i use turtle wax 2K1, very similar to armor all with less grease IMO.

 

Get Mequiers hot rims
Great stuff!
