zen Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I've bought some CV201 wheels, with brushed centers and a polished lip. What kind of sealant or wheel wax is safe to use? Example from the interwebz https://www.ravspec.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/cv201-20-bru-3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I‘m using Swissvax Autobahn for all my wheels on the Supra (Wedssport SA15Rs) and also on my Lexus daily driver. I‘m experimenting for quite some time now regarding a proper wax for the weels and up to now I think that Swissvax does it best at least for me. It‘s quite expensive tho.

Krister Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Are you sure they are polished? I think they are anodized. Keep off rough cleaning agents otherwise you will ruin the anodizing and it cannot be polished back. Just use some high quality wax on them.

Dnk Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 As said above be very careful with the Work wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I've always found poorboys wax to be very good on my wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where I bought them. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 As far as i know if they are the same as my WORK Equips then they are mirror polished then Anodized My wheels were ruined by a strong tfr solution which eat through the Anodized layer, once that happens you can't fix it other than by stripping the wheel and doing the whole polishing anodizing process.

Just got a reply from Driftworks and they are indeed polished and anodized. Just ordered some Poorboys wheel sealnt to put on. @Ric: Looks great mate! Cant wait to fit mine. Similar color also (moonstone), but stock body. What tyres did you fit and how do you like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
