Hi

What products do you recommend putting on a brand new set of wheels for longer term sealant and protection before putting on tyres and fitting to the car?

Thanks!

GTechniq C5 wheel armour could be a very good option to try

They look like they will be a bugger to keep clean, hope they last longer than 108's.

Who makes them ?

Yep, I applied 2 coats of C5 to my newly refurbished wheels and it makes cleaning them a breeze...

Virtually all grime comes off with some snowfoam and a blast with a pressure washer but if you give them a wipe over with a decent hydrophobic QD (e.g. Sonax BSD) after each wash, rain tends to run off taking most of the dirt & brake dust with it so they stay cleaner anyway.

I've literally just done this on my new wheels with PoorBoys Wheel Sealant - 3 coats as recommended
