Hi lads, can anyone on here (silverlux?) recommend a good wax/sealant for bare metal polished rims to give them a bit of protection after the refurb. I've done a lot of reading into whether i should lacquer them or not and have decided not to. So now i need to get something to protect them, any suggestions of product/prices welcomed and also where i can get it...

Poorboys wheel sealant is good shizz!

I did some research when was polishing my 2 intake manifold. In the end came to conclusion not to lacquer or coat it due to pain in the arse to remove lacquer if it gets chip,scratch. The easiest way is to keep on top of it and polish it once in a while. Most of the pastes would contain agents that help metal to oxidize, keep an eye out for that. If we're talking about cheaper prolonged treatment on polished surface the best is some sort of wax that's as pure as possible without solvents or petroleum stuff.

This is meant to be the biz, picked up some myself but haven't had a chance to seal my wheels yet. defo need to get some iron x as the wheels have started to take brake dust sports.

thanks for the info guys have looked up the poorboys stuff and seems to have pretty good reviews, less than €20 on cleancar.ie so will probably go for that. Thanks again and will post up pics in my build thread when i get it

I have Rim Wax and don't think a lot of it

always good to rule out the bad ones as well, cheers ricky

Meguiars metal polish is brilliant for this it lasts for ages and leaves very nice shine

Autosol metal polish is unbeatable in my opinion and only 8 euro. All those bikers can't be wrong

Thanks lads, i know these polish but are they a sealant as well? Not very well versed on this kind of stuff

No witch is why I got the Rim wax

Yeah those things are great for polishing but won't seal it.
Polish it first using one of those polishing compounds then stick the poorboys on.

sounds good lads
