GlosterOx 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Interested to know as well, gonna change to 16" RX2's soon - Can I just use my "normal" Autoglym HD wax? Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradv8 10 Posted January 23, 2013 normal wax should be fine, i just use autoglym wax on mine n they look pretty sweet, makes cleaning them easier to, as dirt n brake dust doesnt stick as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted January 23, 2013 I use a couple of layers of Jetseal 109 first, then some hard wax. Lasts ages! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted January 23, 2013 Try poorboy's not the cheapest but excellent protection Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny H 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Are these wheel wax or just a car wax?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted January 23, 2013 I have poorboys wheel sealant and think its poor. Fk1000p is good as it can take more heat than your average wax so lasts well. My mate has jetseal on his kit car wheels which works really well too. but the best has to be gtechniq c5, simply awesome durability. Ok so its not a wax but if u want ultimate protection against dust then its the purchase for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found it work's better with at least a couple;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Have some autoglym hd wax too and wondered if this was suitable for wheels. Will give it a try then if its recommended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billzeebub 1 Posted January 24, 2013 I don't think you can go far wrong with Autoglym products, generally all I use Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted January 24, 2013 How many coats are you putting on? I found it work's better with at least a couple;) yeah I usually go for 2 on a clean surface. its better than nothing but dont rate it..... I still use it on the daily when I bother to give it some love :lol: the Gtechniq stuff is a little fussy as you need a bare surface to work with but trust me its ace!!

seanl82 23 Posted January 24, 2013 I use a couple of layers of Jetseal 109 first, then some hard wax. Lasts ages! Indeed, CG Jetseal 109 is a fantastic sealant for wheels and exhaust. A couple of coats will last 5-6 months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 24, 2013 http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/wheelwax.php?manufacturers_id=22&osCsid=4991df7064b0146de58c7a3d203e8412 I use that, but i can't compare it to anything, and my wheels were newly refurbed when i first applied it so hard to tell. If i could find a suitable pot i could post you a small sample out of my pot. Lots of people recommend the poorboys stuff. I would like to try that next time.

Goldie 2 Posted January 24, 2013 In think its the poorboys one I have (bright pink). Easy to use and wheels clean easily although they don't really get that dirty so hard to know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny H 0 Posted January 24, 2013 That CG Jetseal 109 is only £23 a bottle. Might have to order 1 and give it a go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
