Collinite on the wheels

[speed-demon]

Would this be a good Idea? Will wheel sealent last longer than this ultra durable wax?

Do you think AIO followed by SG followed by wheel sealent or
Aio followed by SG followed by Collinite be best?:thumb:

Dont think any wax would withstand the extreme heat as well as a synthetic.

Saying that, without actually testing them all who knows?

Give it a go, 1 each front and back wheel. Two with AIO, SG and Collinite, two with AIO, SG and wheel sealant.

Let us know how it goes.

Totally agree with chris.Waxes for the bodywork are not made to withstand heat.Have a look at my site .I sell a special formulated wax that will withstand heat and remove oxidtion from your wheels and provide ultimate protection

I would agree with the sentiment, but it is worth noting that Collinite 845IW is not just for use on car paintwork, it also mentions high voltage power lines/other uses. I would say 845IW is a good choice on wheels due to the ability to withstand high temperatures.

Personally I have used 845IW on the wheels both on it's own and on top of Carlack 68/Klasse AIO and it works well both on it's own and on top of the products.

I would suggest going with a combo like Carlack 68 and Collinite 845IW / Carlack 68 and PB Wheel wax as a good durable combo. :thumb:

Collinite 845 IW works a treat on alloys - top it up once a month and your alloys will stay well protected. I've found that 845 IW still beads like crazy even after cleaning with Megs Wheel Brightener.

Like the others said, generally speaking, a normal carnauba based wax can't withstand the heat generated by wheels, but Collinite products are a little different from the norm when it comes to durability.

its not like the wheels get that hot, unless you drive on track days etc, the outer parts of the wheel will stay reasonbly cool , and the back ones dont get hot

think how hot a black bonnet gets in the summer...you wax that dont you!

Yep 845 is great on alloys.
Never thought about how hot your paint gets in the summer but its true.
If the sun has been on the car all day you certainly wouldnt want to park your bare butt on it.

It's not the wheels that get hot, my understanding is that what your trying to stop is the hot brake filings from bonding to the alloy.

A wax/sealant with some high temp resistence should be able to prevent that to some extent. :car:

I'm with this man.....Ive been using AOI topped the Collinite on my wheels since last Feb last year. Imho it protects the wheels well (especially in Winter), and on my Anthracite Reno wheels makes them look great.:thumb:

I have some wheel sealent but I get excited and think I ver apply. ITs quite a loose consistancy so its dead easy to use loads when applying. I need to spreadit more thinly I think.
