Dnk Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 What are you guys using ? Been told this is really good Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro Graphene Flex Wax My refurbished wheels get fitted on Monday afternoon so was thinking I'd give them the once over before they go on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I've always used the Poorboy's wheel sealant. Can't really tell you if it's good or bad as I've not used many others to compare it to. But it is, or was, well regarded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One review I've just read says its good but doesn't last long enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 GTechniq Wheel Armour for me. Usually lasts the 6 months that I use the car each year. Apply a new coat before taxing it the following year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I reapply quite frequently, but only because I'm a fuss pot. It definately lasts a month or so, but I don't think it would compete with the GTechniq product mentioned above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the replies guys, I'm going to give the Turtle wax a try, never bothered on wheels before so we'll see how well it performs. I'm on a tight schedule as the wheels get fitted at 2pm Monday, I found the turtle wax on Amazon and arrives today so I can do the whole of the wheel inside and out before fitting Edited September 3, 2023 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Personal preference and all, but I'd stick to these, if they do them for your wheel - which I'm sure they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if that the way to applly it but its what I do, I wash my car every week/fortnight and the wheels seem to be doing ok right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I used KKD Revolve after my wheels got refurbed, been over 2 years now and all I do is go over them with the pressure washer and they clean up fine. Really impressed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 First wash since doing the wheels, it didn't take much effort to clean them but I still needed to get my wheel brush inside using wash n wax and sponge over the outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
