Default Wheel WAX

how many Bronz volk te37 owners use wheel wax??

i applied some on my rims when i first got them in the mail!

didnt think they were doing anything. but one day i curbbed a rim and replaced it with a new one..

didnt wheel wax that rim..

couple months later.. it shows lol

so im convinced wheel wax works pretty good. BUT damn it is a PAIN to take off the matte part of the rims!

how use guys do it?

Tried it once. Nothing special. No better than a good one-step cleaner-wax.

BTW it is not made for a mat finish.

I use it on my GTS's, works great at repelling water from staining the lips and makes cleaning much easier.

Got a couple things from DI. Great service btw.
Main item I wanted to try was the Poorboy's Wheel Sealant, first sealant I am ever using.
I have brand new set of 19" Advan RS-D w/ Matte Black Finish and White PC'd edge.
Weather has been Poor to say the least and I couldn't wait on the weather to clear to take the wheels outside so I did it indoors. This stuff smells good so it wasnt an issue.
I am wanting to take some good shots in the sun as the detail of the wheel is hard to get being its black and indoor lighting doesn't do it justice.
But initial impression is that after three coats of the PB's Wheel Sealant the wheel remains matte black. Note a little goes a long way.
It appears a slightly deeper black which I am pleased with.
Easily applied with a polish applicator pad and buffs off quite easily with a microfiber towel on both the matte black and white pc'd edge.
Was easy to remove from the crevasses of the raised lettering, machined lettering and stickers as well.
Doesn't produce that white dusty particles that you can get when buffing out some products.
Once the weather clears I plan to apply the sealant to my Smart Car's silver alloy wheels that makes it easier to see the hold up to dirt and brake dust for a round of cleaning.
Will post a full review with pics shortly thereafter.
on this product and Detailed Image.
