Nanolex Vs SRP+EGP test.

HalfordsShopper · 19-04-2009, 09:11 AM

I've done 3 of my four wheels with the Nanolex basic wheel sealant over the last couple of weeks, and decided to leave one of the front wheels with my usual combo of SRP and EGP, which has already been on for 2 weeks.

So now i can compare the two side by side over time.

After 1 week on the front wheels, both the Nanolex and SRP/EGP came up like new with just a blast from the pressure washer. There may have been slightly more dirt left on the SRP/EGP wheel, but there really isn't much in it. Both wheels were spotless after a foam and rinse.

So after week 1 its a draw, and for the Nanolex to prove its worth, its gonna have to be durable. I'm really hoping it lasts for the promised 1 year 12,000 miles.

I'll add a quick update every week or so, until one of the sealants fails.

Think you'll find that 1 year / 12k miles is on bodywork not wheels

Nothing would last 12 months on the wheels

Depends how the car is used/abused.

You track it, wash once a month, nothing will last 12months.

Lol - its a Toyota Avensis (and a diesel one at that).

Can't see me taking it to a track day. I use my R1 for that.

I quite like the sound of this one.
But remember the test results will only be relevant to your car.

As you cab to factor in all different driving styles and brake pad compounds, as everyone either drives differently or as different brakes.

But a good test just the sames.

This is why you see so many people saying certain wheel sealant don't cut it for them. But a change of pad on the next service the prior sealant now works.

Going to be watching this one closely, as I do like SRP / EGP also.

I have proof that the Premium lasted way more than 1 year on rims on a car that was almost weekly washed, the car is the one mentioned here:

It is definitely possible. It all depends on how you treat the rims to clean them.

I did this writeup myself http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=112099 and will update it every month or so to show the performance.

Maybe I might be able to change your opinion on 12 months

Cheers,

Florian

Definitely sounds like a very interesting test! Since we don't have AG over here our products were never compared to theirs, really looking forward to see how things will go!
