After purchasing some new 18" white wheels, I've polished them up with Klearkote products and then used 1 coats of Poorboys wheel sealant.
However, how do I clean the wheels without taking off the sealant? Don't really want to have to keep taking them off every clean.
Any help appreciated. :)

if youve already sealed the wheels you should just be able to wash them using normal shampoo and water - I would wack on a couple more coats to ensure there fully protected. its only when you start using proper wheel cleaners that you will start to strip off the protection - but you shouldnt need to. :)

As above, once you have 2-3 coats of Poorboys Wheel Sealant on them you should find they wash up easily with just normal suds and a microfibre wash mitt. However, if you have dusty brake pads and want extra cleaning help without stripping the protection, then Menzerna Gel 7.5 is an option. This pH neutral cleaner has great cleaning power, but won't strip all the protection (although it will reduce the slickness a bit). If you suffer bad brake dust one option would be to wash three weeks in a row with just normal suds, then use the Menzerna Gel 7.5 on the fourth wash to remove all stubborn traces, and immediately apply another quick coat of Wheel Sealant to keep the protection level at a maximum. :)
