New Wheel Protection

[PuntoGT]

Purchased myself a new set of wheels was wondering whats the best product to apply to them to help them stay there best. the wheels are manufactured in the USA and im importing them as people may well be aware wheels made in USA dont come with much protection cause they arent ment to see anything but sun, unfortunately scotlands roads are wet and salty. advice welcome guys

Klasse AIO and SG, or AG SRP and EGP seem to be popular.
Top off with a hard wax, Collonite IW or similar, should see you through OK.

What's the wheels Chris, give us a photo!

:( dont remind me spent allllll day yesterday doing the back 2 calipers, but been informed i shud do the disc rims n that aswell in silver

Nightmare!
There's nothing worse at this time of year, everything rushed, you're cold, wet and miserable.
It's soooooooo much easier in the summer when it's warm and daylight lasts for 16 hours!

Here's hoping for a nice summer!

[speed-demon]

lovely wheels mate.

[frayz]

ADRs are lovely quite a few scoobs running around on those :D

What size have you ordered?

[Brazo]

Cracking wheels mate love the split rims

I would go a coat of klasse AIO/AG SRP and then apply either a sealant like EGP or a wax like collinite 845IW

[Neil_S]

Carlack 68 or AIO followed by Collinite 845 IW :)

Gorgeous wheels mate! They're going to look very smart. What size did you go for?

[PuntoGT]

Went for 17s, 18s would have sat perfect on the rears but made the front end sit a bit high so went for 17s and a 65mm drop

Maybe I'm misreading what you're saying here, but you can't layer AIO. It has cleaners in it, so every new application strips off the old one. Layer up on the EGP though.

[PuntoGT]

oppss ma bad, what EGP? similar to EX-P?

[Brazo]

AUtoglym extra gloss protection a sealant similer to klasse SG

[PuntoGT]

ahh i have AIO, P21s all Menz products, megs # 83 / # 80, gold class, AG SRP

[Clark]

I clayed, SRP'd, AIO'd, EX-P'd and collonited my wheels and callipers last night, really made them shine, so i'd recommend those products if u have them chris :)



I also painted the edge of my discs couple months ago and they turned brown/golden within a week :mad: lol
