Best product to protect brand new set of wheels before fitting ?

[wilwong1971]

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. :wink:
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.

It’s them little wheel bolts that’s a pain to up keep, I use a toothbrush

They are brand now OEM Style 294 wheels, decent ones are rare as hens teeth... found thus set in Germany on eBay ...

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