BrownBoy Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I was thinking about this myself...wonder if they would stay clean if i waxed them and put a sealant on them, they ARE painted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I put a sealant on mine and it definitely helped. It lasted about 6 weeks and I think I need to do it again. The brake dust isn't washing right off like it was doing a week or two ago. There are products designed specifically for this. Wheel Wax is one and Poorboy's Wheel Sealant is another. I'm sure any paint sealant would do the trick, but its nice to know there are products that have considered the environmental differences for what happens to our wheels versus our paint. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Xenonk Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I just clean them frequently... baked-on brake dust is the worse. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Using a sealant on the wheels doesn't mean you can go longer without cleaning, it just means that the cleaning is easier. If you don't have to bust out a wheel brush to do your wheels then why do it? And I totally agree with you. Baked on brake dust is definitely the worst. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Dsfa Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 I was hoping also find a way to make them shine too ! I am in the process of putting several coats of Wolfgang(another great recomendation from OCD) and the car its self looks great but the wheels are not up to par with shine of the car.
